Even though WWDC 2021 arguably brought us the most boring WWDC keynote we’ve seen in nearly two decades, the reality is that we’ve gotten somewhat spoiled by Apple consistently releasing exciting new software for years on end.
Even though WWDC 2021 arguably brought us the most boring WWDC keynote we’ve seen in nearly two decades, the reality is that we’ve gotten somewhat spoiled by Apple consistently releasing exciting new software for years on end. In other words, Apple’s software announcements at WWDC this year may have been less enthralling when compared to what we’ve seen in the past, but that’s not to say that the keynote was completely devoid of substance. Of course, it goes without saying that iOS 15 — as we’ve come to expect — was the main attraction at WWDC this year. And while Apple naturally highlighted iOS 15’s more impressive new features — with SharePlay, enhanced FaceTime functionality, Live Text, and revamped Notifications being just a few examples — not a lot of people are talking about the fact iOS 15 is compatible with devices that go as far back as the 5-year-old first-generation iPhone SE and the 6-year-old iPhone 6S.
