Software launches expected during Apple’s 2022 WWDC

iOS 16

The launch of iOS 16 update will be the major highlight of the event because of the sheer number of iPhone owners across the globe. All iPhone users who hold an iPhone like iPhone 7 or later that could support iOS 16 will get to install the new version of iOS when it’s released in the autumn of 2022. iOS 16 will be announced at WWDC 2022, and then rolled out for beta testers (registered app developers only) immediately after the keynote. The iOS 16.0 will be released for all probably in September.

iPadOS 16

Accompanying the iOS 16, iPadOS 16 is also likely to be announced during the event. It is speculated to incorporate most of the new features of iOS 16 but adapted to a larger-screen interface.

macOS 13

Well! Apple will also reveal what's in store for its follow-up to Monterey at WWDC 2022. And it is expected to be macOS version 13.0. Though Apple relied on a single version of Monterey for 18 years, from macOS 10.0 (Cheetah) in 2001 to macOS 10.15 (Catalina) in 2019. However, with the last two releases – macOS 11 Big Sur and macOS 12 Monterey, the arrival of macOS 13 can be expected this year.
