Going to the trouble of rebranding the software would suggest that Apple wants to make more of a fuss of adding post-launch features to the HomePods in the future. While we’ve gotten home-related features at WWDC, this would be a new name for the software that runs on the HomePod and HomePod mini, currently referred to as HomePod OS. The big five may yet become the big six because Apple is rumored to be working on a new branded OS named homeOS. What will we get this year? We haven’t heard much about it yet, so we’ll find out at WWDC.

#WWDC IOS IMESSAGE IPADOS APPLE SILICON UPDATE#
Last year’s tvOS 15 update added new Siri capabilities, multi-user recommendations, and the ability to screen-share programs with friends using SharePlay. The lowest-profile of the five big Apple operating systems, tvOS is the platform that runs on the Apple TV.

There are plenty of watchOS features we hope to see in watchOS 9, so we’ll be keeping a close eye on the announcement. And like the iPad, “system navigation” is also due for an update. watchOS 9 is also predicted to offer new health and fitness features, but that’s a pretty easy prediction to make at this point. We hear that watchOS 9 will finally update several of the existing watch faces, and of course, there are always new faces available as well. But that nonsense does seem to be out of the system now, with the last two releases-macOS 11 Big Sur and macOS 12 Monterey-each getting a new whole number increment.

The follow-up to macOS 12 Monterey should be macOS version 13, but don’t take that for granted: Apple noodled around on a single version number for a barely conceivable 18 years, from macOS 10.0 (Cheetah) in 2001 to macOS 10.15 (Catalina) in 2019. We’ll just have to wait for the WWDC keynote to find out. It could even mean a mode that lets the iPad, when docked, operate with floating resizable windows much like a MacBook. That could mean a wholesale change to the many current ways to multitask on an iPad or yet another method to add to the list. The most significant iPad-specific thing we’ve heard from the rumor mill is a big change to multitasking. However, this might be the year iPadOS breaks away from iOS. Still, the iPad continues to get tailored features and interface changes. When Apple gave the iPad version of iOS its own “iPadOS” name a few years ago, they were similar in most respects, and that remains true today. The accompanying update for iPad owners, iPadOS 16 is likely to incorporate most of the new features of iOS 16 but adapted to a larger-screen interface. Perhaps most importantly, several of Apple’s built-in apps are said to be in line for a refresh.

Rumored new features for iOS 16 include a new lock screen with some interactive information or widgets (which will apparently get the “always-on” treatment only in the iPhone 14 Pro this fall), significant changes to the notification system, and new Heath and Fitness app features.
