iPhone Life - Best Apps, Top Tips, Great Gear

One of the biggest announcements Apple made at today's WWDC keynote was its new macOS, which it ambitiously named Big Sur. While it's currently unclear whether the version will be called macOS 10.16 or 11, the name Big Sur encapsulates Apple's goal for the OS, which is to be "entirely new yet instantly familiar." Almost every aspect of the design is new to macOS but borrowed from iOS, from app icons and symbols, to a whole new suite of sounds. The goal is to add consistency across Apple devices. Floating buttons, a new sidebar design, and a space-efficient toolbar are all exciting features of this redesign aimed toward making it easier to access what you need. Arguably the most exciting feature of Big Sur is the new Privacy Report in Safari, which gives you a look at which sites are using (and sharing) your data, as well as keeps tabs on which of your passwords may have been compromised. In an age when data can spread like wildfire, these updates are not only reassuring, but needed.

Anticipation is building for the WWDC keynote on June 22, when Apple will kick off its developers conference by introducing the latest versions of iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS. We'll also find out if the rumors are true about new Apple devices, including a HomePod mini, StudioPods, and an updated Apple TV. Our editorial team will be watching the WWDC 2020 keynote live stream, and checking out the broadcast on the new Apple Developer app for the Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, and Mac. We'll host a conversation in our private Facebook group as the event happens, where you're invited to join in, ask questions, and share your opinions. After the keynote, take part in a live taping of the iPhone Life Podcast, where we’ll discuss everything just announced. Read on to learn more about how to be a part of our event coverage.
