Apple Kicks off WWDC With a Ton of Upgrades Including New Mac Chip
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) kicked off the online version of its Worldwide Developer's Conference (WWDC) on Monday with the widely anticipated shift away from the Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) chips used by the Mac computer in favor of Apple's own processor. The Apple Silicon chip will offer many of the same features and capabilities that are already available on the iPhone and iPad, including the secure enclave and on-device machine learning, to the Mac.
iOS 14, the iPhone operating system, was the beneficiary of several notable upgrades, including changes to the home screen. It will allow users to choose from widgets, which come in a variety of shapes and sizes, that can be added to the home screen to highlight most used apps. Apple also introduced the App Library, which will automatically organize apps by category to make them easier to find. It will also offer picture-in-picture capability for video for the first time. CarKey will allow users to wirelessly unlock their car.
