After 18 years of existence, iTunes has finally pushed its last note. Apple announced Monday that its software that revolutionized the music industry will be replaced by Apple Music, Podcasts and Apple TV. Overview of the main innovations presented by Apple at its annual developer conference.
1. The end of iTunes
"Can iTunes do more? Craig Federighi asked the crowd of designers in California mocking the significant aspect of Frankenstein that iTunes has taken over the years. This preamble was used to announce the end of iTunes, which will be replaced by the existing Apple Music application. The new version of this application will allow you to listen to music, access your music library, and sync your devices, just like iTunes did before.
Apple Music will cede podcast management to Podcasts, and video to Apple TV.
The announcement took place in the context of the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2019, Apple's annual developer conference, an event dedicated to the brand's software and applications.
2. iOS: welcome on the dark side
In addition to this announcement about iTunes, what's new with the next version of iOS took up a large part of the first conference, which lasted nearly 2 hours 30 minutes.
As a transition to announce the news of iOS, Tim Cook has allowed an attack on his competitor, Android (Google). Apple's CEO said that the latest version of iOS was installed by 85% of users, while the newest version of Android has been adopted by only 10% of users. Android updates often have delays in their deployment.
iOS 13 will offer for the first time a dark mode. This optional feature darkens the menu and application interface, reducing power consumption. The reduction in brightness would also be better for eye health in poorly lit environments.
iOS 13 will be launched next fall.
3. Apple Maps
The Apple Maps application will be updated for many new features. A service to view 360-degree captured images like Google Street View has been added, as well as a system to create favorite address lists for quick access.
The next version of iOS will offer more options for people wishing to further control their privacy. For example, users may require an application to request permission whenever they want to access their location.
4. Apple ID to connect to the web
IOS users will also be able to connect to different online services using their Apple account, similar to the Facebook and Google login buttons.
These connections will not automatically provide personal information to the applications, and users will not even have to provide their real email address to the services they will connect to in this way. When they refuse to do so, Apple will automatically create email addresses for each online account. These addresses will redirect the messages to the customer's email account, and the customer may at any time request to stop receiving communications from a service. This should theoretically reduce spam when an app decides to sell the email address of one of its users.
5. More options for Moji
Emoji, avatars animated with facial recognition Apple, can be customized even more in iOS 13. New hairstyles will be offered, as well as new hats, makeup, and drilling. Users will also be able to choose a late dentition, with missing teeth or vampire fangs.
Emoji can also be transformed into stickers that users can instantly send in their online conversations.
6. Shared listening on Airports
It will soon be possible to share the sound of his mobile device with a friend or relative if he has Airpods earphones.
Just tap his device on the one with which you want to share the sound for the connection to be established. Two people could listen to a movie together on an iPhone if they both have Airports and iPhone.
7. The iPad in the spotlight
The iPad will soon be entitled to its own operating system, called iPadOS. This system will allow Apple to offer new features, designed specifically for the iPad, rather than simply adapt for iPad iOS features, which are designed for small screens.
The new operating system will offer the option to display multiple applications at once on the screen, making it easier to multitask.
The experience offered by iPadOS will be closer to that of a laptop. For example, Apple has made sure that websites appear on iPads as on a computer screen, instead of showing mobile sites. New shortcuts enabled by finger movement have been added to edit text documents faster. It will even be possible to connect a USB key to your iPad to transfer files.
8. Finally the Mac Pro
After years of waiting, Apple has finally unveiled its next high-end computer: the Mac Pro.
"It's the most powerful Mac we've ever created," said Tim Cook in the unveiling. The Mac Pro is indeed for visual effects specialists, video game designers, and other professionals who need a potent computer.
Video editing specialists will also have access to a graphics card that specializes in very high definition image processing. With this map, it will be possible for these workers to view up to three videos in 8K at a time during their editing work.
The keyword of this device: customization. The interior components can be easily replaced to reconfigure the computer according to the customer's needs and update it periodically.
The base price of the Mac Pro will be $ 5999, and the device will be available next fall.
Apple will also sell a new retina screen 32 inches 6K resolution to accompany the Mac Pro. The very high resolution of this screen will be coupled with an Apple proprietary technology to display the colors more realistically, which would exceed according to the company HDR technology.
The base price of the display will be the US $ 4999, and the stand designed by Apple will be sold separately at the US $ 999.
9. Apple TV
The company's CEO, Tim Cook, has opened WWDC 2019 by talking about Apple TV, which will soon offer users the option of sharing their account with family members. The Apple TV interface will then provide personalized recommendation lists for each user of a statement.
Users will also be able to control the menus using Xbox One and PlayStation 4 game controllers.
10. Apple Watch
For its part, the Apple Watch will also offer new features, such as a calculator to share a bill at the restaurant and a haptic alert ringing every hour. Apple will also give access to the App Store directly from its connected watch. This will allow users to add new applications without having to go through their phone.
Apple continues to position the Apple Watch as a must in the field of health. Athletes will get recommendations when they follow their activities by the watch. Users may also ask the clock to analyze their menstrual cycle to better track this aspect of their health. The watch will also offer warnings when the ambient sound is too high and may cause sequelae.
The company ensures that the data collected will be well protected and that its customers will decide whether they want to share it or not.
