We already talked about the dark theme in iOS 13 in our last article. Now let's talk about Apple TV, Watch OS, iPad OS, Mac OS, and the new Mac Pro.
After the update, Apple TV will support multiple users. Based on the preferences, the program will select its content for each family member. Now Apple TV supports gamepads from Microsoft Xbox One and Sony PlayStation 4 game consoles. More game releases on Apple TV are likely in the future. It is worth assuming that this pace of Apple TV development is due to the fact that the company plans to release Apple Arcade in the fall of 2019.
A new version of WatchOS was also presented at WWDC. There were added new watch faces, a separate App Store and many applications from the iPhone. For example, a calculator, a recorder, a player and some others. The watch has a function to analyze activity and compare performance with other periods. Based on the data obtained, Apple Watch will be able to advise the owner to walk more or take breaks. WatchOS 6 will be able to monitor background sounds and warn the owner if some of them are dangerous for hearing.
In addition to a new dark theme and Face ID and app optimization, iOS 13 has added authorization in apps and resources using Apple ID. Users will be able to hide their real email address, keeping themselves safe. In the new OS Siri speaks in a more "human" voice, got a set of updated commands and the ability to recognize the voices of family members through the HomePod speaker. The voice assistant can read aloud a message that comes in and record the user's response.
AirDrop will be able to recognize people in photos when sending photos. It will offer the user to drop photos to their iPhones, if they are nearby.
