The MacBook Air M1 will sport a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display that's 25 percent brighter than the screen on the previous model and has support for one billion colors. The new MacBook Air also has a totally new design - gone is the wedge shape from the previous model, as it's been replaced by a more squared-off design that remains quite svelte at 11.3mm thick and only 2.7 pounds.

As the name suggests, the laptop runs on the company's updated M2 chipset, which Apple promises to provide up to 18 percent faster CPU performance and 35 percent faster GPU performance than M1 chipsets. Uncharacteristic for WWDC, Apple unveiled a new piece of hardware at today's keynote: the new MacBook Air M2. In case you ever need to remove someone's access, you'll be able to use Safety Check to do things like stop location sharing via Find My and reset permissions you previously granted for certain apps. It's a new privacy feature that will let you review and reset access you've granted to others.

There are a bunch of other updates coming to Wallet, HomeKit, CarPlay and more, but the other new feature in iOS 16 that we wanted to touch upon here is Safety Check. The Photos app will even give you sharing suggestions based on who's in the photo and other factors, allowing you to more easily pick and choose which images you want everyone to be able to access. A more general new feature coming to Family Sharing involves Photos - within your family, you'll be able to have a dedicated iCloud Shared Photo Library, a separate space into which you can share specific photos that you want everyone in your family to see. The new Quick Start setup process will let parents more easily set up a new Apple device for their child with all the necessary parental controls and restrictions in place. That should make it easier to pay for big purchases over time, and it'll accompany the new Order Tracking feature, which will let you monitor where you're shipments are before they actually arrive at your doorstep.Īpple has a number of Family sharing updates planned for iOS 16, including easier ways for parents to manage their kids accounts and devices. This splits purchases into four equal payments and spreads them out over many weeks, with zero interest and fees applied. IPhone users will also have access to a new feature dubbed Apple Pay Later in iOS 16. Apple's also extending SharePlay's abilities into Messages, allowing you to share things like videos and watch them with friends while sending messages back and forth. You'll be able to edit sent messages so you can get rid of any typos, undo messages you just sent and mark Message threads unread, in case you want to go back to them with fresh eyes. IOS 16 will also bring some highly anticipated updates to Messages, namely message editing, undo send and mark as unread. So, for example, you'll be able to make a work-specific Lock Screen that will accompany your Work Focus mode.

The new Lock Screen will also better support different Focus modes, allowing you to customize which alerts and notifications you receive on your Lock Screen when you're in a particular Focus mode. They'll let you better keep track of things like sports games that are going on right now, Uber rides, workouts and more.
APPLE WWDC UPDATE
If you prefer to have a photo as your Lock Screen backdrop, you'll be able to now set a "photo shuffle" as your background, which will cycle through multiple photos throughout the day.Īlso coming to the Lock Screen are Live Activities, which are essentially widgets that will update in real time as events happen. You'll be able to tap on any element of your Lock Screen and customize it, changing the color and font of the time, adding widgets from the widget gallery and changing the backdrop with filters. Key among the latter is the completely designed Lock Screen, which lets you personalize most elements you'll see before unlocking your iPhone.
