WWDC is an event that Apple hosts every year for the benefit of its developer partners, the people who design the apps, software, and activities that run on the Mac, iPhone, and other Apple products and platforms. During the event the tech giant shared the software updates planned for the fall at the event, supplying developers and fans with the first looks of the new features to be launched this year.
iOS 15
In the event, the company announced iOS 15, the new operating system for iPhones along with it a raft of new features, upgrades to the software, and important security fixes. Craig Federighi shared a variety of new features that are incorporated in iOS 15, which includes FaceTime Links, interactive Memories in Photos, keys and ID cards added to Wallet, a new night mode for Apple Maps, Notifications Summary, Live Text, Focus, and richer offline Siri support.
iPadOS 15
iPadOS 15 incorporates new ways to rearrange iPad apps, place widgets on the home screen, and the App Library feature, previously iPhone exclusive, that automatically adjusts apps. Apple further launched a new multitasking interface that makes it more manageable to put two apps side by side on the iPad screen. The iPadOS 15 parts of the keynote were reasonably geared towards establishing the separate aesthetics and user experiences that better suit the small and medium-sized screen of an iPad.
