#### BrightDigit Newsletter Issue #28 Hello , For those of us heavily invested in iOS development, it was unfortunate to have to miss this year’s Apple Worldwide Developers Conference 2020 (WWDC 2020) in-person. Just the same, Apple announced, via virtual conference, a lot of things we can feel excited about. Some things have the potential to really shift the way we create software...

Here’s you need to know about what Apple revealed to us about what they’ve been working on:

## **iOS 14** - iPhone is less about making calls and more about having a small, smart device in your pocket. This is perhaps best demonstrated by** phone calls no longer taking up the whole screen** when in use (Siri doesn’t either). - Apple offers things that will be familiar to Android users: **widgets, app clips, and default app selection.** ## **macOS 11** - Apple is **transitioning to using their own Apple Silicon CPUs**. This is a monumental shift for Apple. They’ve already demonstrated that these 64-bit ARM-based chips can easily match the speed of comparative Intel chips while drawing less power on other devices. - The **redesign** is in line with the updates to with iOS and iPadOS.

*WWDC is almost always an exciting event, and this year was no exception, despite none of us being able to attend in person. There are some really clear, intelligent changes coming to Apple and its platforms. These changes are going to make building apps faster and easier. They will also open us up to including some great functionality that we’ve never had before.*
