The 2022 WWDC event unveiled groundbreaking updates across Apple's ecosystem, including the introduction of the revolutionary Apple Intelligence AI. Major updates to MacOS, iOS, WatchOS, Apple TV+, and Vision Pro were announced, sparking excitement among consumers. Despite the impressive unveilings, concerns arose about Apple's aggressive approach towards third-party apps and services. Notable announcements such as the Meta Quest Pro's VisionOS 2, Features like LockID and SmartScript in iOS 18, and enhancements to SharePlay and Calculator apps left attendees intrigued. Apple also introduced features inspired by Android for messaging and Windows 11 for multitasking. The introduction of Tap to Cash, upgrades to FaceTime, and the launch of Apple's password manager app, Passwords, highlighted Apple's commitment to innovation. With impactful additions in Control Center, AI capabilities, and writing tools, Apple positioned itself as a formidable competitor to existing services like Google Gemini and Grammarly.
