Many observers had expected Apple to announce an M1X or M2 chip that would power professional laptop and desktop Macs.

Although each platform-Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and HomePod-retains its unique qualities, nearly every feature that the company announced works across as many platforms as make sense.īefore we get into the ten features that we think you’ll most like when everything ships in September or October, we should note that Apple was surprisingly silent on one topic: future Apple silicon chips. It was a firehose of announcements, but one thing became clear: Apple wants to spread its technologies across its entire ecosystem of devices. At its Worldwide Developer Conference keynote on June 7th, Apple shared details about what we can expect to see later this year in macOS 12 Monterey, iOS 15, iPadOS 15, watchOS 8, tvOS 15, and HomePod Software 15.
