WWDC 2017 – Apple's WWDC 2017 celebration full of news

WWDC 2017

WWDC 2017 – One more year Apple has celebrated the most famous of its conferences, the WWDC 2017. An event in which Apple brings together developers, manufacturers and media to present all the work carried out during the year with all the new features of the operating systems. Some changes that mark the way forward again during this year 2017 thanks to the new functions and applications that will change, once again, the way to interact with our Apple devices.

Apple has returned to its headquarters in San Jose to hold a very special conference, since they are TEN years of the presentation of the first iPhone that integrated iOS 1.0, and things have changed a lot since then. Tim Cook has been doing a general review of the history of the device that marked a before and after in the world of telecommunications, which was able to banish Nokia, confident in low interest generated by the iPhone and unable to adapt to market change , and later to Blackberry, who, confident in her business market, did not want to give her arm a twist until it was too late.

Today Apple has done it again. It has updated and improved ALL its operating systems (OS), adapting it to the needs of new equipment and users. As the novelties are many, we leave you a small summary of what we have seen today in the WWDC 2017, while we investigate and prepare the specific articles with ALL the news of each one of them.

What has Apple presented at WWDC 2017?

New version of macOS 11

Craig Federighi has taken the stage to present ALL the news of the operating system of our Mac computers, called macOS High Sierra.

A new version full of improvements in all its functions. A Safari that becomes the fastest desktop browser in the world (even 80% faster than its Chrome competitor), a Photos application that gains in functionality and improves its organization, synchronized with ALL our teams.

Apple takes advantage of this new version of macOS to change DOS of its formats:

In addition to enteringMetal 2, EVERYTHING to improve, and much, the speed of ALL the processes that are carried out with a Mac.

A new version of the operating system for all Mac computers, which we analyze in depth in the following article on macOS 11 High Sierra.

iOS 11

iOS is the operating system for mobile reference devices. An operating system whose TENTH version is installed in 86% of Apple devices, and that has 96% satisfaction among its users.

iOS 11 It comes to improve these figures thanks to the solution of errors and the inclusion of many new functions such as Apple Pay between users (Apple has just created its own virtual currency), the use of SIRI for language translation instantly or the improvement and redesign of applications such as the App Store, detailed maps of the interior of buildings or the new "Control Center" that finally replaces the limitations we found in the previous version and a curious but necessary "Do not disturb while driving" mode.

One of the great novelties has been the presentation of ARKit, a platform that converts ALL and each of the iOS devices into an augmented reality platform. It may seem silly to you, but what we have seen will change the way we play games for iOS.

But they have also introduced new functions of iOS for iPad, in which iOS and macOS are increasingly similar. A Dock of applications much larger, a multitasking in the purest style "Drag & Drop" that we can put wherever we want, a mobile version of the famous Launchpad of macOS, and even a new application called Files with which to manage ALL our files in the cloud.
