KEYNOTE. Apple has just confirmed the official date for its next Keynote. Find out when and where you can follow the next Apple Keynote, as well as upcoming announcements.
It’s confirmed: the next Apple Keynote will take place this Monday, June 6 from 7 p.m. (French time). This conference, eagerly awaited by the Apple community, should allow the firm to present several new software products.
If the next Apple Keynote should not mention new products, several announcements are already highly anticipated. We are talking in particular about the new iOS 16, which should improve the daily lives of users ofiPhone. Apple’s official invitation for its next Keynote remains quite enigmatic, and only reveals a few memojis of different colors. While waiting to find out more, discover all the official dates of the next Apple WWDC Keynote as well as the upcoming news for the iPhone and other brand products.
What date for the next Apple Keynote?
Apple has confirmed this: the next Apple WWDC Keynote will be held from June 6 to 10, 2022. No surprise behind this information, since Apple has got into the habit of organizing its Keynote called WWDC (Apple Worldwide Developers Conference) during the first week of June.
After WWDC, it is likely that the next Apple Keynote will be organized in September. This third conference of the year is generally the most attended and the most important, insofar as it is above all centered around the new iPhones (here theiPhone 14).
Finally, the potential fourth and last Keynote Apple conference of the year would be organized in October. The latter has not always been held by the firm, so it is also likely that Apple will stick only to its September conference.
What upcoming announcements for the next Apple Keynotes?
If it is still a little early to determine with precision the future announcements of Apple Keynotes, it is always possible to project yourself and relate the noises of the corridors. Thus, it is a safe bet that the next WWDC conference in 2022 will present the new iOS 16 with its share of new features. This new OS will certainly not be the only one unveiled, since Apple also usually unveils new versions of MacOS, iPadOS and WatchOS at the same time.
What’s coming for iOS 16?
In all likelihood, the next Apple Keynote from WWDC will introduce iOS 16. Althoughno big aesthetic changes should be expected this yearspecialist Mark Gurman of Bloomberg indicates that iOS 16 will bring “big changes” to the iPhone. In particular, it mentions new interactions to make life easier for users. The first leaks also speak of new applications specially developed by Apple.
Will my iPhone be compatible with iOS 16?
The next version of iOS 16 unveiled at the Apple Keynote will be the one planned as the base on the next iPhone 14. But what about older versions of the iPhone? If Apple sticks to its habits, the iPhones compatible with the next iOS 16 would be the following:
- The whole iPhone 14 range
- iPhone SE 2 and iPhone SE 3
- iPhone 13 and its different versions
- iPhone 12 and its different versions
- iPhone 11 and its different versions
- iPhone X and its different versions
- iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus
- iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
While iOS 15 also included the iPhone 6s released in 2014, the next iOS 16 presented at the Apple Keynote would ignore them. You will therefore have to change your iPhone if you want to continue to benefit from the next updates, and in particular those designed for the security of your data.
Upcoming announcements for the iPhone 13 during the next Apple Keynote?
If Apple Keynotes are often eagerly awaited, it is because they are an opportunity for the firm to unveil new products. Several Internet users are wondering in particular about the possibility of new features to come around the iPhone 13 or the iPhone 14 during the upcoming conference in June. The June Apple Keynote, however, should only focus on new operating systems, and skip the iPhone 13 and 14.
What announcements are coming for the Apple Watch at the Apple Keynote?
The next Apple Keynote should also return to the Apple Watch. The connected watch is still among the leaders in its field, and Apple intends to continue this success. The Keynote should be the occasion for Apple to unveil WatchOS 9.
WatchOS 9, which should be presented during the Apple Keynote on June 6, would be compatible with all Apple Watch except Series 0, 1 and 2. This new version would notably introduce an “energy saving” mode as well as satellite connectivity to send emergency messages. Rumors also mention new sleep features as well as new official watch faces.
