The change log for each update only states that the update includes "bug fixes and security updates" but doesn't mention any other changes or new features. More specifically, Apple released iOS 15.3, iPadOS 15.3, WatchOS 8.4, and macOS 12.12.

Your Apple Watch will also unlock the door to your house, if you’re using an Apple-compatible smart lock.It's time to update your Apple devices once again.Īpple on Wednesday released several security updates for the iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch, and Mac lineup.
#APPLE SAFARI UPDATE FOR IPAD SOFTWARE#
For example, you’ll be able to use Apple’s Home app on your Apple Watch as an intercom communication device, provided the intercom system you’re using works with Matter, a new de facto software standard that Apple has opted into along with Google and Amazon. There are a few other home software updates that are clearly designed as multi-device experiences- Apple devices, mostly. This new software update means that other hardware makers, like smart speaker manufacturers or makers of funky smart home locks and cameras, can fully deploy the voice assistant on their devices. Up until now, you’ve only typically only been able to talk to Siri on Apple devices. The most significant HomeKit news to come out of this year’s WWDC is that support for Apple’s voice assistant Siri is coming to third-party devices. That’s where HomeKit and tvOS updates come in-which are two separate software platforms, but both geared towards the home.

Package alerts tell you when the box of cat treats has landed on the stoop. Tabs also change color to complement the visual scheme of whatever web page you’re viewing. Tabs appear smaller and more compact, and Safari users gain the ability to group tabs together in the sidebar, making it easier to organize your 250 open browser tabs. The Mac’s trackpad and keyboard will work across both devices too, with the cursor jumping between screens as the focus changes from one device to the other.Ĭontinuing its theme of borrowing browser features from other software companies, Apple announced changes to desktop Safari that make it feel a little more like Chrome or Vivaldi.
In fact, with a new feature Apple calls Universal Control, users can set their iPad beside a Mac to double as an instant second monitor. Apps will sync more easily between all your Apple devices: Mac, iPads, and iPhones. With this next version of the desktop OS due this fall, Apple is aiming for device synergy. The next version of macOS will be nicknamed Monterey-it follows Apple's recent habit of naming macOS releases after beautiful parts of California, though the name is a bummer for anyone who had their money on Buttonwillow or Manteca.

That means you’ll be able to watch Apple TV in full object-based-surround sound with headphones on, a feature I can see taking off among new parents who want to crank up movie night without waking the little ones. (It’s currently limited to a few albums by big-name artists.) It remains to be seen whether Atmos-mixed music will take off, but it is exciting that TVos will also soon get spatial audio. In addition, both pairs of premium headphones benefit from Apple’s system-wide improvements to the find-my network, with a new proximity view that lets you know when you’re getting close, and an exciting option that will show a notification if your iPhone senses that you’ve left your headphones behind.īoth pairs of headphones support spatial audio via Dolby Atmos, and today Apple announced that Atmos-mixed music is now available on Apple Music. Siri will also be able to announce a wider range of time-sensitive notifications, like dinner deliveries-you can use which apps to enable in an upcoming settings menu. With the feature on, people will be able to hear conversations more clearly and tune out ambient noise. People with mild hearing loss will soon be able to use a “conversation boost” mode, which uses audio processing in combination with the beamforming mics on the earbuds and headphones. Perhaps the most exciting feature is that they can now serve as low-powered hearing aids. Both pairs of Apple’s noise-canceling headphones will see significant improvements via software updates in the near future.
