iOS 15: CONNECT, FOCUS, EXPLORE, AND DO MORE

After making some significant leaps forward with iOS and iPadOS in 2020, it was only right that this year’s updates would be more understated, but it didn’t stop Apple from announcing some exciting new additions to its popular operating systems.

From SharePlay and an Apple Maps overhaul to an all-new Weather app, attractive notifications, and iPad enhancements.

LEAPING FURTHER FORWARD ON iOS

As Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering took to the virtual stage at this year’s WWDC 2021, it was clear that he and his team had worked to develop exciting new features for the iPhone and iPad in what has been one of the most challenging years on record. Apple staff continue to work from home, though are expected to return to the office soon, and whilst the number of new features and optimizations is lesser than in some previous years, both iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 still pack their punch with exciting changes. Speaking of the new version of iOS, Federighi acknowledged that the “iPhone has become indispensable, and this year we’ve created even more ways it can enhance our daily lives. iOS 15 helps users stay connected while sharing experiences in real-time, gives them new tools to help reduce distraction and find focus, uses intelligence to enhance the photos experience, and, with huge upgrades to Maps, brings new ways to explore the world. We can’t wait for customers to experience it.”
