The Apple WWDC 2021 conference has just ended, which came as expected, with the unveiling iOS 15 And system iPadOS 15 Updating the Mac system, many advantages in privacy, disclosure of the Cloud Plus feature, updates in the field of health, and many advantages for developers. Find out in the following lines a summary of what came in the conference.
The Apple conference began with a funny video about the developers and asking them how they imagine the launch of the conference, and then he entered Tim Cook To the stage that was full of “animoji” crowds, Tim spoke about the history of the conference and how 25 million people watched it last year and said that this year there will be more than 200 training sessions for developers.
IOS 15
And announced the beginning with Craig Fedrigi Who said that the beginning will be with iOS 15 and that the focus will be on 4 points, namely:
1
Communicate with others
In this feature, Craig talked about FaceTime and its encryption and Animoji calls. He said that there are problems that some face in video communications, which is the quality of the Internet, which makes the call bad; So this year, the focus will be on improving FaceTime, starting with improving the direction and quality of the sound by adding the Spatial Audio feature, as well as using the sound isolation microphone and artificial intelligence to isolate the noise around you.
In conference calls, the image of the person speaking will be enlarged so that you can easily identify who is speaking, and the camera’s portrait feature has been added to improve the image, meaning a background blur will be made.
Surprisingly, Apple allowed others to attend the call; That is, there will be a link that you send to anyone you want to attend the conference calls, and this link works on any phone or system, even Android and Windows.
Features like listening together have been added so that you can share the same thing you are listening to the other person; The same applies to the feature of watching together so that the other party can watch any movie or any series with your friend during the call.
It is a useful feature if you want to explain something to him as we do in real life “Have you seen the new video about this? No? Come on I'll show you on my device Now this command will be on your phone to make the other one watch the same with you. And of course you can play the video you watch together on TV and continue the FaceTime conversation on your phone.
Finally, Apple added the feature to share the screen with others, which is considered the most famous in the sharing services.
In the Messages application, viewing photos has become much better, as you share the photo album with others and it appears in a grouped form, and you can “like” any photo, for example; Apple also added an option to share news; If a friend sends you news, for example, you will find it appearing later in News so that you do not need to search for it in messages; The same is true of audio, images, Safari, podcasts, and other services. If someone shares something with you in it, it will appear in their application.
2
Notices
Apple introduced a new feature in notifications called “Notification Summary” and the idea is that it brings you all your notifications together to give you an on-screen summary.
This summary in a nutshell is that the iPhone makes notifications silent and then at a time of your choosing, it displays them to you in aggregate; For example, you work from 9 to 5 pm, so you ask the iPhone to show you the summary of notifications at 5:05 pm after the end of your work to see what you missed without distraction.
Apple added a feature that when you activate Do Not Disturb mode; You can choose to show this to your friends in the Messages app to let them know that the time is not right for you and there will be an option to notify you about important things so that your friend can reach you even with the Do Not Disturb “You Choose This” mode.
A new feature called “Focus” that separates notifications; For example, you choose certain work-related applications, and they are the only ones that you receive notifications from; And the family and here the iPhone makes work notifications silent and you receive any other notification.
3
Live Text
Apple added a new feature to the system where it automatically recognizes speech in images and enables you to copy and send them to others.
The feature also enables you to extract texts from any image you have and search for it, whether it is the name of a book or a restaurant, so it searches for you, evaluates it, the way to it and shows you its number.
4
Image search
Photos have been added in Spotlight so that you can search for photos directly from them. For example, you type photos from Mecca, and your photos on the Hajj trip appear to you; Apple has also improved the display of search data for people and places so that the content is more.
5
memories
In the Photos app, there is a tab called “For You” that usually shows some memories, old photos, and grouped videos; What's new is that Apple is now enabling you to interact with videos; Unlike other services, what you will see are already grouped images, but this show is live, that is, you can return to a previous image without stopping the music in the background.
And you can use the Apple Music app to adjust the background music with one that suits you.
6
Wallet
Apple has added tickets and passes for public transportation in a number of cities as well as the Disney Card and you can even add your hotel room key and business entry card; Apple aims for wherever you need NFC cards to enter, you can access it with your phone. Apple has also added a US driver's license to the wallet as well, so that the US citizen does not need to carry the actual license with him.
7
weather
The design of the weather app has been updated and the interface has been completely changed to become more interactive with more explanation of weather conditions such as rainfall, wind direction and a heat map.
8
Maps application
Apple announced the arrival of the all-new Maps app for Spain and Portugal, and it will be available in Italy and Australia by the end of the year.
Maps also got a new interactive design for display during navigation so that it shows you the way in a more interactive way.
You get to know the places around you and the distinctive signs as well as the details of the road itself and the signs you will meet.
Advantages for AirPods
1
Apple has added a feature to improve conversations with AirPods Pro, so that you do not need to take off the headset while talking with others, as you will receive their voice directly and clearly.
2
Added a feature to Siri with the headset so that Siri tells you important things; For example, when you are shopping, Siri will read the notifications of the shopping app, for example, in which you wrote your notes, so you do not need to take out the phone.
3
The Find My feature now supports Apple headphones similar to the AirTag via the Apple network as well.
4
Apple's system will now tell you that you forgot the headset as soon as you get away from it in order to avoid forgetting it.
5
Spatial Audio is now supported on tvOS and Mac devices as well.
Dolby Atmos has been supported in the Apple Music app since today.

iPadOS 15
Of course, the iPad comes with most of the advantages of iOS 15, but a number of special features are added to it, and this year, the system 15 adds to the iPad a number of advantages, such as:
1
The widget: Apple has added a number of new widgets, whether the game center or the Find My service or the widget for applications, and you can put the widget anywhere, and there is also a widget with a larger size that fits the size of the iPad screen.
2
Apple added the library of private applications in the iPad, like the iPhone, with the ability to hide any page you do not want.
3
Apple has improved the way to open two applications and split the screen on the iPad so that one touch of the control button at the top of the screen is to split the screen and show applications so that you open any other application.
4
Apple added a feature called shelves; For example, if you are writing an email in split screen and need to do something else; Just swipe down to place the email in a tab and go back to the apps you were working on.
5
Apple has added the @mention feature and the hashtag #feature to the Notes app. And the other person you're Mentioning is notified and shares that note. And of course, the hashtag makes it easier for you to collect notes on the same topic.
6
Apple added the Quick Notes feature with the Apple Pencil; Just swipe from the side of the screen and type anything; Apple called Quick Notes and of course Quick Notes go to the shelves that were mentioned in Feature No. 4 above.
7
Translation is now available on the iPad, similar to the iPhone and iOS 14; Finally, Apple solved a defect that was in it, which is that you have to copy the speech; Now just select any texts and then choose Translate.
8
Swift Playground also got a number of improvements to facilitate programming; Apple said that you can make an application from the iPad and it will be sent directly to the Apple team for review and publication, and you do not need a computer. (This is a genius feature, now everyone can develop applications using only the iPad)
A collage of benefits
Privacy
Of course, Apple does not forget to talk about privacy and its importance, and that Apple provides many advantages to protect your data; So Apple revealed a number of privacy improvements.
1
Apple added a privacy protection feature in the Mail app; Apple explained that some emails contain codes that enable the developer to know your IP and when you opened the message; But updating the Mail app in iOS 15 will protect you from this.
2
Safari also got a similar feature, which is to hide your IP to protect you from tracking, and a report in Safari will show you the number of tracking attempts and the sites that wanted to track you.
3
Privacy Reports: It is a section in the settings that gives you knowledge of the applications that you have given permission to access your data and how you use this privacy so that you know that this application has reached your place today 5 times, for example, for photos twice, and so on.
4
Siri has been updated so that you can no longer do things without an Internet connection, and Apple said that commands and your voice will not leave the iPhone for a large number of tasks that can be done from your phone. That is, the voice analysis is now done on the phone, and if the required task does not require the Internet, it will be done without transmitting your voice to Apple servers.
Cloud Plus +
1
We often forget the cloud password; Apple added the feature of choosing people you trust to enable you to access your account via a message they receive.
2
Apple added a death option to allow someone in the event of your death to control your account and even delete its content.
3
Then Apple announced a feature called Cloud Plus, which is the same as cloud services with the addition of new features such as the Private relay feature that better protects your privacy on the Internet as it encrypts your Internet connection “more like a new VPN for Apple and not a traditional VPN.”
4
Hide my mail feature, which enables you to create random emails to be used in specific matters, and you can delete them later to disappear for the site where you registered with the fake email.
5
Additional home security has been added and the ability to add an infinite number of home surveillance cameras.
6
Cloud Plus features are added to users for paid versions of the cloud.
الصحة
1
Apple has revealed many, many improvements in the field of health, such as the balance monitoring system, where the iPhone in your pocket monitors your movement and speed and informs you if it sees a change in movement that may lead to you tripping and falling.
2
Another feature added by Apple is Trends, in which Apple analyzes all the data on your health and medical analyzes and gives you an indication of your health status and the direction you are going, is it an improvement or not.
3
In addition to other advantages, Apple has added a family feature so that you can follow the status of your family members and their pulse “with their consent of course,” as well as monitor any sudden change in the health of any of them, such as a large rise in the pulse.
A summary of the new health benefits
Apple Watch
1
The breathing app has been improved to help you relax more or reduce stress, and the app's animation has been modified. And add a feature called Reflect, and here the application suggests that you do something like think of something you want to do and focus on this idea, and the watch will monitor your condition and tell you when it notices an improvement in mood and positive feelings.
2
Another feature called Respiratory Rate, a feature that the Apple Watch monitors the number of breaths per minute to tell you the improvement in your condition.
3
A number of new exercises have been added to the Fitness+ app, and you can monitor their performance via the Apple Watch as usual.

Home App
1
Many improvements in the Home application, starting with opening your home with the iPhone, as well as asking Siri to play anything on TV, adding the “Watch with Friends” feature of FaceTime, as well as, of course, the “Shared with me” feature.
2
Apple added a For All feature, the idea that the TV app suggests content that's right for you; If your wife opens her account, he will suggest something suitable for her; And your children will suggest appropriate for them. But by activating the Suggestions for Everyone feature, here it searches for content that matches everyone so that you can watch it with anyone in the family.
3
You can now use the HomePod Mini as a headphone for Apple TV.

Mac Monterey
The new Mac system was named Monterey, in which there was greater convergence between Apple systems, starting with the addition of the same “participant with me” feature that was revealed in the iPhone, as well as adding the shortcuts application, similar to the iPhone as well.
Apple added the Universal Control feature, which enables Mac devices to identify the iPad if it is next to it so that you can use the Mac's mouse and keyboard on the iPad as well, which is similar to the famous Logitech WorkFlow feature.
Apple has added the AirPlay feature on the Mac so that you can stream any content from the iPhone to the Mac screen, not just the home screen.
The Safari application now supports folders, as well as the Google Chrome browser; Folders The idea is that sometimes you open a large number of tabs and group each group together in a specific folder such as the football folder, the Apple News folder, the economy status folder, and so on, and in each folder you find the tabs together.

Special features for developers
Apple has talked about upcoming developments to its development packages, the development of the Swift language and a new paid feature called Xcode Cloud that will allow developers to build apps in the cloud.
It will also allow developers to display applications in the App Store in different images that suit each audience and category.
End of the conference
Tim Cook announced that beta versions of the operating systems will be available today to developers and available next month for public trial.
Final versions will be released this fall.
What Apple did was genius
Now it has made the systems more harmonious with each other with features that facilitate use and make the devices a real value
But our expectations of unrealistic features and our lack of knowledge of Apple's strategy made us unhappy, knowing that there are features that did not occur to us that Apple created in a smart way.
As Steve Jobs said, users don't know what they need!!
i know what i need,
I need a respectable control center from which I can access services (for example)
,, I need a more respectable and tidy file manager
I need a human Siri voice in Arabic, not electronic, unhappy.
I need Always On Display..
I need a decent keyboard with a row of numbers with word prediction and full exploitation of the keyboard spaceمساحة
etc
A very bad and totally disappointing conference unfortunately
Hello, when will iPadOS 15 beta be available?
Private Relay will not be available in some countries, according to Apple.
Yes, guess these countries :)
Since the death of Steve Jobs and Apple, the users have been disappointed and we do not expect anything good from them...I personally am no longer enthusiastic about its updates or even its devices, as it is known that what you are issuing is contrary to what the user expects, not to mention the technical problems caused by their updates to the devices..All their updates are correcting errors I don't know when these errors will end
wrong word,
A company is a respectable company and every year it fascinates us with its devices and systems
This is the only year that didn't make a big difference in its systems
Wow, my admiration for you increases day by day. Great effort and great coverage, may God reward your hardship well 👍.
Just a small thing. In Apple Maps, it now recognizes buildings and gives you a signal on the iPhone in the right direction. I would be happy if I could add something very small to your wonderful effort, may God reward you.
There are many features that I liked, including the modern integration between Apple devices and the use of the mouse on the devices at the same time, not using Siri to the Internet for some tasks, the great update in FaceTime, and not forgetting that the AirPods Pro headset supports the hearing impaired, even if it is a simple thing.
I wish you good luck forever
All iPhone phones that are running the iOS 14 update will be updated later to iOS 15 and support will not be dropped on any iPhone, as previously rumored. All iPhones compatible with iOS 15 update
Nice and wonderful summary, God bless you and thank you and I am excited to try iOS 15
Apple always in the lead
After the call bar feature came out last year, don't wait for Apple, and it needs a hundred light years to offer us something new.
No, you are an amount that will release new features after a billion light years 😂
What about the iPad, the Mac, the Apple Watch, and the AirPods?
unhappy conference
This update may not be what we expected
But there are some great features that I like...
Is iPhone 6S still compatible with this version?
I was reading on one of the telegram channels this article is this true 👇
Officially iPhone 6s and iPhone SE first generation
Support iOS 15
amazing!!!!
?
Yes, because the system is light, 9A processors can withstand the update without problems
Thanks for the great article 🌹🌹
Optimizing for apps only Failed system
Nice article, and the most beautiful thing is that Apple focuses on the quality of services as well as the quality of the product, although their steps are somewhat slow, but they are free of confusion. They seek to have their services serve the economic, social and political realities of each period so as to try to gain the lead and dominance in it. I think that our networks over time will need to evolve to keep pace with the development in the phone market and its services. I reiterate my thanks to the author of the article
Really disappointing system, I didn't expect it to be this ugly
Thank you for the great coverage
I'm starting to believe that Apple is a cell
I think it seems disappointing because Apple focused more on updating system applications, not the system in general, unlike ios14. It focused on the look, the system in general, the conference was good, not strong, but acceptable. The most frustrating thing for me was ipados. I expected something strong and a qualitative leap to keep pace with the jump in specifications Iron iPad Pro
Everyone who said (disappointing hopes and aspirations) we hope that part of these hopes and aspirations will be mentioned to us
We were hoping for changes in the photo library, as well as changes in the notifications and in the settings as well. All phones developed their interfaces, and the ios interface remained the same … if one of the developers in the company had used the jailbreak even once, he would have come up with countless modifications and ideas
I don't know why Apple doesn't add the feature of moving the content of the photo album into folders instead of copying and stacking them on top of each other in the main album, which makes it very annoying?!! About 10 years ago and I hope this feature will be added soon! Because it helps with photos and videos a lot, but it always adds secondary features to the album and I'm sure most of us don't use it!
You can create an album and put in it as many photos and videos as you want
And Apple's idea is beautiful so that you can create several folders with all the photos in one place without consuming memory space
شكرا
Very very disappointing
Disappointing conference. We were expecting things like always on display, a new look for the control center, and a lot of things but no way
Thank you, Yvonne Islam
Disappointing conference
I was expecting more, but a disappointing conference and features that don't work for us in the first place
thank you for replying
Unfortunately, a disappointing conference
I was imagining more features in ios15 😔
Thank you for this excellent presentation
What are the devices that support system 15 please reply
The same devices that support me ios14
iPhone 6s and above
The next is better, God willing, and I hope they hurry up to support new technologies in Arab countries
I have an iPhone 6 and Tony has an iPhone 12 and after me I haven't even tried it
I look forward to the new experience and I am sure it will be very beautiful 😍
This is an iPhone Islam article about the features that we hoped would come with iOS 15
https://iphoneislam.com/2021/06/features-we-want-to-see-in-ios-15/95702
I liked the conference and found some advantages that we wished for and they were added, of course we would like more, but it will come successively, God willing.
Thanks are due to you, may God bless your efforts and reward you with all the best and reward you in both worlds.
Madar, can we say that the conference was disappointing? There is nothing impressive, especially in iOS15. Where is the creativity or innovation?
I agree with the majority that the conference disappointing! And for everyone who wants to know why it is disappointing, review the article by Von Islam about some of our wishes for the features that we have always wished to include in this new update.
Maybe next year 🥰
Not true, brother, there are some advantages added!
disappointing
What devices are compatible with iOS 15 update?
Frankly, there is nothing worth waiting for, they may have gone bankrupt from creative ideas, and they are floundering and making improvements to the existing features, in general, thank you Avon Islam team for the distinguished offering 🌷
If I imagined more than this 😔 forbidden by God
Thank you very much 🌹 Excellent summary
The only feature that I feel useful is the development of Safari without the net. I repeat my thanks and admiration
Very beautiful, give you a thousand health
Thank you
While I was watching the conference, I said in my head that Apple is the Abu Kalb company, despite my love for it, but I exaggerated the few features.
The text of the new features is not present in the Arab countries. Leaks cracked our head in the air
List of iPhone devices supported by the next update, please from the site's workers
iPhone 6s and above
Thank you for summarizing the conference, Apple is always at the fore
Not with a failed system
Thank you 🙏 Yvonne Islam for your great effort
May Allah reward you with good
What are the iPhone devices that will be included in the next update?
I wish someone would tell us who works on the site
There is nothing new to mention about a developer conference...but I think Apple will improve iOS 15 more before releasing it.
No, this is the system
Disappointing, there is no impressive feature
Disappointing system and I basically expected that it did not include drastic changes but it is worse than I expected 😭
There is nothing new in the form of the system and the conference is a loss
Just improvements, it was better to name this update ios14.6.1
Three months left, maybe a change will happen and this conference is worth it
No, I do not disagree with you
ios14.8
Very suitable with him 😂
I agree with you, a system that is sewn for hope
Thank you for the great summary, there is really nothing impressive in version 15, just a few additions here and there. We hope that there will be changes that Apple did not announce in this version, but I doubt this
Let's dream 🤣
We thank iPhone Islam
On Apple conference abbreviation
iPhone 13 will fail because of iOS 15…….
If we have a system as an s version, what do we expect in the iPhone 13
Thanks for the article, but the updates are disappointing and don't deserve to be called an update 😔😔
Suppose we call ios 14.7
thank you……
Thanks for the great article
A frankly disappointing conference.
The conference was directed to developers more than ordinary people, I liked HomeKit updates and changing the display of pages in Safari, there are no main wow points
Apple made the iPad a new market for developers, the most powerful feature in the entire conference
Are right.
yes
Apple has added many features to its devices’ operating systems and applications… but as usual, we will only use a few of them.
We didn't use it at all 😂
Seriously, may Allah reward you with the best reward ❤️, a wonderful summary. The article really covers the entire conference. I didn’t watch the conference because I was sure I would find everything in your summary. Thank you.
You will find every disappointment in the conference😡😡
Disappointing conference, nothing new
It should be called ios14.8, it is forbidden to call it ios15 😤
.. Not one of the leaks that cracked our heads check, and even the iPhone 6s is covered by updates to every day we read news that it is not supported 😂
A failed and miserable conference, and there is nothing new in it
It's all mapped out 😂 and all of it doesn't benefit the Arab regions
,, As for the ipados system, this is ridiculous 😂
Give me 16 gigs of the iPad Pro 2021, which is free to pay more money, or else with the iPad OS 15 3 gigabytes of RAM is very sufficient and adequate 😂
Even 14.8 is a lot. It should be 14.7. To be honest, I was not optimistic, but with that conference, it was worse than what I imagined.
You mean ios 14.6.1
I don't think ios 14.6.1 is more suitable
Apple stings its users with unnatural miserliness
What about the iPad, the Mac, the Apple Watch, and the AirPods?
