The new takeaway from Apple is that &#8220;you control your data, and you control what gets shared with what apps IF you want to share anything at all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Basically, Apple is trying to be more transparent about what data users are sharing with apps. The message is that they don&#8217;t want you to divulge <strong>what you don&#8217;t want to share<\/strong>, and <strong>what you don&#8217;t have to share.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-starred-link\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-starred-link__img\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/09\/facebook-thumbs-down-192.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-title\">\r\n        <p class=\"sc-card-starred-link__title\">Facebook steals information about your menstrual cycles, home buying, more<\/p>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__button\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/facebook-stealing-app-info\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\">Read now \u25ba<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/facebook-stealing-app-info\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h4>You can now edit videos<\/h4>\n<p>Editing will now include the following new tools:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Vibrance<\/li>\n<li>White balance<\/li>\n<li>Sharpen<\/li>\n<li>Definition<\/li>\n<li>Vignette<\/li>\n<li>Noise reduction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These tools can help edit photos as well as videos. You can even<strong> rotate videos and give them filters.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Other key takeaways from WWDC:<\/h3>\n<h4>An OS system for all devices!<\/h4>\n<p>Every Apple device <strong>will have its own OS system<\/strong>. iPhone will be keeping iOS and Mac is keeping MacOS, but iPads will get iPadOS, Apple Watch is getting WatchOS, and AppleTV is getting TVOS.<\/p>\n<h4>What&#8217;s new with iPad?<\/h4>\n<p>The new iPadOS will have all the same features that iOS13 will have.<\/p>\n<p>However, probably one of the wildest features coming to the iPad is the ability to<strong> plug in a thumb drive.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This small little change sparks a slew of questions. The new iPad they showed did not appear much thicker than your typical iPad. That said, we don&#8217;t know if a new iPad is coming that is thick enough to receive a normal USB. We also don&#8217;t know if a special type of USB must be purchased, or if you have to use an<strong> intermediary device<\/strong> to connect a USB to an iPad.<\/p>\n<p>With all<strong> Apple devices getting thinner and thinner<\/strong>, we find it hard to believe that that the iPad will break the mold in this regard. However, being able to plug in a USB can potentially save us a lot of headaches.<\/p>\n<p>Apple wants users to be able to use their iPad as if it were a normal desktop computer. Going along with this change, iPads will be able to use split-screen to <strong>view multiple apps at once.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-140940\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/ipad_split_screen_klco8p.jpg\" alt=\"iPad OS\" width=\"700\" height=\"382\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Going along with this theme, when viewing websites through Safari, you will now see the <strong>desktop version<\/strong> of the page rather than the <strong>mobile version.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Along with new keyboard shortcuts being added, you will be able to use <strong>touchscreen commands<\/strong> to copy, paste, and undo by extending or retracting your fingers.<\/p>\n<p>If you need extra space when working on your Mac, a new app called <strong>Sidecar<\/strong> will allow you to use your iPad as a second display screen for your Mac.<\/p>\n<h4>Apple TV+ is coming this fall with an original show<\/h4>\n<p>Apple TV+ will stream video in 4K. Along with featuring music and music-related content like videos, Apple TV+ will also have its own original show called &#8220;For All Mankind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;For All Mankind&#8221;<\/strong> takes place in a reality where the Soviets beat the U.S. in the race to put a man on the moon. It goes into how the U.S. would react to this reality, and how we would try to bounce back.<\/p>\n<p>The show looks&#8230; okay, but not good enough to warrant purchasing Apple TV+. We will have to wait and see what other original content might come our way before making a decision. For now, we will just plan on buying Disney+, and be happy with that call.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-starred-link\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-starred-link__img\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2019\/04\/darth-vader-star-wars-192.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-title\">\r\n        <p class=\"sc-card-starred-link__title\">Everything we know about Disney+<\/p>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__button\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/disney-plus-preview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\">Read now \u25ba<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/disney-plus-preview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h4>Airpods<\/h4>\n<p>Siri will be able to read your messages to you while you&#8217;re listening to your AirPods. You can <strong>even respond to her<\/strong>. This works for other messaging apps as well.<\/p>\n<p>During the demonstration, a man was on an exercise bike listening to music when Siri informed him that a friend sent a message. After reading off the friend&#8217;s message, the man was able to immediately reply by telling Siri what to say. Throughout the process, <strong>the man did not have to stop riding.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a cool feature, but we can&#8217;t help but point out a flaw in their demonstration. Apple also owns <strong>Beats by Dre<\/strong>, which is coming out with a wireless headphone of its own, similar to AirPods. These are supposed to be used while working out, not AirPods. Basically, we&#8217;re all sorts of confused.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-starred-link\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-starred-link__img\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/11\/wireless-headphones-192.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-title\">\r\n        <p class=\"sc-card-starred-link__title\">Beats by Dre to launch first wireless earphones<\/p>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__button\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/beats-first-wireless-earphones?ex=BB-859.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\">Read now \u25ba<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/beats-first-wireless-earphones?ex=BB-859.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h4>Apple Watch is a proud, independent device that don&#8217;t need no iPhone<\/h4>\n<p>Apple Watch will soon be able to <strong>operate completely independently<\/strong> without needing to be managed through an iPhone app.<\/p>\n<p>The App Store is also coming to Apple Watch.
