Apple will officially announce iOS 16 and other major updates to its operating systems at the WWDC 2022 kickoff event on June 6. While the first beta is always made available exclusively to developers, a new report from Mark Gurman claimed that the first public beta of iOS 16 will come later than usual.

Following the release of iOS 15.5 and macOS Monterey 12.4 to all users, Apple on Monday also made tvOS 15.5, watchOS 8.6, and HomePod Software 15.5 available to the public. The updates bring overall improvements with no major changes.

Apple on Monday released iOS 15.5 and iPadOS 15.5 to the public following the release of the RC build last week. The update doesn’t bring significant changes, but it does improve the Apple Cash and Podcasts app.

Apple last year renewed “Carpool Karaoke: The Series” for a fifth season. The show was created before Apple even launched Apple TV+, so it was distributed through Apple Music. Now the fifth season is finally coming this month, this time on Apple TV+.

Apple Retail Stores are constantly used to promote Apple TV+ shows and movies, however, the company has now taken a more aggressive (and fun) approach. Some of the most popular Apple TV+ shows such as Severance and Ted Lasso have now come to life at The Grove Apple Store.

Apple last month announced WWDC 2022, another edition of its annual developer conference. This year, however, Apple let developers register for an in-person event at Apple Park. Now the company is sending the notice to developers who have been chosen to join the special event.

Earlier today, Apple released RC (Release Candidate) builds of iOS 15.5, macOS 12.4, tvOS 15.5, and watchOS 8.6. While the updates bring only minor changes and improvements, Apple has now confirmed that the watchOS 8.6 update enables ECG and other health features for Apple Watch users in Mexico.

We have recently been hearing rumors about Apple offering iPhone models that are only compatible with eSIM, without the physical SIM card slot. However, years before this technology even existed, Steve Jobs wished that the first iPhone didn’t have a SIM card slot.

Apple on Thursday released macOS Monterey 12.4 RC (Release Candidate) for developers. And in addition to enhancements and a few new features in the Podcasts app, the update comes with a new Studio Display wallpaper. But if you want to use it on other devices, you can download it right here.

Following the release of iOS 15.5 RC and macOS 12.4 RC for developers, Apple has also made available the RC (Release Candidate) build of Studio Display Firmware 15.5 ahead of the official release. The update improves the image captured by the built-in webcam.

It has only been one day since Apple discontinued the iPod touch forever. And although the company said that customers could still buy the product “while supplies last,” it seems that the supplies didn’t last very long. Right now, the iPod touch is completely sold out in the US Apple Online Store.

Earlier this year, Dolby had invited podcasters to prepare their shows for a more immersive experience with Dolby Atmos. Now Dolby has announced that Wondery is the first podcast platform to deliver audio content using Atmos technology.

Disney reported its fiscal Q2 2022 results on Wednesday with some pretty positive numbers. And when it comes to the Disney+ streaming platform, it beat subscriber expectations for the quarter. This comes as Netflix has been losing users and reconsidering its business model.

Google on Wednesday held the opening event of Google I/O, the company’s annual conference for developers. During the event, Google announced multiple new features and technologies that will be available not only for Android users but also for iOS and macOS users. This includes immersive maps, multisearch, enhanced video calling, personalized ads, and much more.

Following an update to Photoshop for iPad, Adobe also released a new version of its video editor Premiere Pro on Tuesday. In addition to new features such as GIF transparency and HDR proxies, the software now supports hardware encoding for faster exports.

Just a few days ago, I wrote an article asking why Apple is still selling the iPod touch in 2022. Coincidentally or not, the company announced on Tuesday that the iPod touch and the iPod brand have reached the end of their lives. What’s interesting to think about is that, now obsolete, the iPod touch was once the gateway to the iOS ecosystem.

The 2021 MacBook Pro was introduced only six months ago, and yet a number of users seem to be experiencing audio issues. More specifically, they complain about the speakers crackling and popping when there’s any sound output being played.

Before Apple officially announced the iPhone in 2007, the company secretly developed multiple prototypes – and some of them had a very different design than what we know as the iPhone today. However, another iPhone prototype has now been revealed with a really intriguing design, as it has an iPod Click Wheel that turns into a number pad.

Apple is not exactly a service company since its main revenue still comes from hardware, but subscriptions have become a vital part of the company. They are now bigger than products like the Mac and iPad. Still, the company seems to want to take its service category even further by pushing streaming platforms and advertisements.

Apple has been investing a lot in augmented and virtual reality since the introduction of its own ARKit API. However, when it comes to open standards on the web, Apple is still far behind its competitors. In the opinion of industry insiders, the company “has been a drag on innovation in WebAR,” as Safari still lacks support for the WebXR API.
