WWDC 2016's opening keynote has come to a close and we now know just what Apple has been waiting to share with us for the last 12 months. Here's a roundup of everything announced at the event.
Download links for both watchOS 3 beta 1 and tvOS 10 beta 1 are now live for developers to download and install on their Apple Watch and fourth-generation Apple TV. We can remember a time when Apple only had a couple of platform announcements to introduce during its annual Worldwide Developers Conference. Once upon a time, there was just the next-generation of iOS to introduce along with the next major version of macOS, the platform that powers Apple's Mac range of computers.
In addition to releasing iOS 9.3.3 beta 2, Apple has also seeded the first beta of watchOS 2.2.2, called for some reason as beta 2, for Apple Watch, as well as beta 2 of OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 for Macs and tvOS 9.2.2 beta 2 for the Apple TV 4.
With WWDC 2016 just around the corner, we understand that a lot of non-developer tech fans are going to be wondering what to expect from Apple's opening keynote at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. Here's what is known so far about WWDC 2016.
Pebble 2 and Pebble Time 2 have been announced alongside Pebble Core, a new clip-on wearable. Here are the details.
History has shown us time and time again over the years that all industries go through periods where all of the emphasis is placed on one trend that's currently capturing the imagination of consumers. Where mobile is concerned, that current trend is most definitely virtual reality, with large and small companies around the world looking to release something in the VR space in the hope of getting in on the boom. One such company looking to capitalize on that particular area of interest is Chinese smartphone manufacturer OnePlus who is looking to tackle virtual reality in a big way with the upcoming OnePlus 3 smartphone, and a OnePlus Loop VR headset.
Google has announced Android Wear 2.0 for smartwatches and wearables. Here are all the new features in one single place, along with a video demo showing them all in action.
Like a plethora of other companies and newly founded startups, Google is using its vast resources to dive two feet first into the world of virtual reality. The Alphabet-owned company has used the opening keynote of its I/O 2016 conference in Mountain View to introduce Daydream, a virtual reality platform that leverages the power and versatility of Android N as the underlying operating system. In its purest form, Daydream is a much more advanced successor to Cardboard, Google's budget virtual reality technology that has allowed many more people to get involved in the world of virtual reality.
Virtual reality fans who also happen to carry iPhones are in for a treat, after Google released an updated version of its YouTube app that supports the company's virtual reality viewer, Cardboard.
Final versions of tvOS 9.2.1 for Apple TV 4 and watchOS 2.2.1 for Apple Watch are available to download right now. Here are the details.
