Apple’s iPhone update allows users to personalise their phone in new ways

Gulf Today Report

Tech giant Apple Inc rolled out its usual stream of upgrades to operating systems for its iPhones, iPads and Macs at its annual software developer conference on Monday.

Apple said IOS 16 lets user lift images from video and photos and drop into iMessages. 

Apple also added an edit button to iMessage for sent messages, beating Twitter to a long-requested feature.

Apple said it is bringing live text to video.

It also announced buy now pay later service at the developer event.

Analysts and developers will be scouring between the lines for any hints about how a future mixed-reality headset might work.

Analysts expect some of the day's biggest takeaways to be updates to core products like the iPad.

Bloomberg reported that Apple plans to overhaul the device's operating system to make it better for working with multiple apps and a keyboard.

Such a move would reflect the fact that higher-end iPads have processor chips that are as powerful as Apple's Mac computers, but also features that those Mac computers do not have, such as touch screens and cellular data connections.
