Apple launched the 2021 annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) event on June 7, 2021 at 10:00 AM PCT. The event will last from June 7–11 and be the first completely WWDC virtual. As mentionned in AroniSmart's previous predictions(Apple's WWDC 2021: Expectations of New Macbook Pro, iOS15, MacOS 12, and More) , the event is focusing on the future versions of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. The firs major announcement was about the new macOS 12, known as MacOS Monterey, which is replacing macOS BigSur and iOS15.
MacOS Monterey: Universal Control, Privacy, and Translation.
A new Mac operating system was introduced. Normally the macOS 12 version, it will be called macOS Monterey. Many new feautures will be included in macOS Monterey, with the Universal Control being one of the most noticeable. With Universal Control, users will be able to control iPads or other Macs nearby, with the keyboard and mouse or trackpad on a Mac.
Users will also be able to switch between controlling any of the devices with one keyboard and mouse, and drag and drop working across every device.
Another major feature is privacy in the Safari web browser. On macOS Monterey, Safari will have advanced privacy and performance features, when displaying sites and using tabs. Similar to iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, Apple Mail on MacOS Monterey will block the ability, for email senders, to detect when e-mail recipients read their email.
With MacOS Monterey, Apple's translation app will be extensively available. According to Apple's statement, it will be possible to translate everywhere and easilly: "Translate text anywhere, even in many third-party apps. Just highlight text, rightclick, and select Translate to immediately see the translation."
