The much
awaited Apple's WWDC (World Wide Developer Conference) 2016, which kicked off
yesterday witnessed major announcements like updates to OS' for the Mac,
iPhone, Watch and TV.
The other
major announcements were opening Siri and iMessage to the developers.
The
company at its keynote address also revealed that OS X is being rebranded to
macOS with the next version being called macOS Sierra,
the Verge reports.
The new
update in Messages app saw Emojis playing a bigger role as iOS 10 would now automatically suggest emojis
that can replace a particular word in a message. For instance, one can simply
go for emojis for words like basketball and swimming instead by just tapping on
selected word.
The new
macOS features also include the ability to unlock one's Mac with one's Apple Watch, the addition of a Universal
Clipboard which works across devices and finally the biggest addition - Siri
for Mac.
The watchOS 3 brings a host of updates, for instance
it can loads apps seven times faster than the previous OS. Other new features
include a keyboard called 'Scribble' that wearers can use to respond to a
message by just typing in their own handwriting. It works in either English or
Chinese.
The tvOS
now hosts 1,300 video channels and over 6,000 apps.
