The Apple presentation on June 3 took almost two and a half hours. During this time, the company made quite a lot of software announcements, plus introduced new equipment. Let's start in order.

Although most of the new featureswas quite expected, Apple still made a few surprises. Finally, a new swipe-style keyboard called QuickPath has appeared, the Photos application has received a number of innovations, and Siri has been updated.

Safari gets new keyboard shortcuts and a download manager. Apple has also added new three-finger gestures for cutting, copying and pasting, and undoing.
MacOS catalina
macOS 10.15 was officially introduced as MacOS Catalina. The new Mac software includes standalone apps for music, TV and podcasts. As we expected, Apple has introduced Sidecar, a feature that lets you use your iPad as a second Mac display in a few different ways. "Find My" — is an updated app that combines Find My Phone and Find My Friends. It will now be available on Mac.
A new feature-oriented feature called the Voice Control. It provides users with even more features with rich navigation through verbal control.
The Screen Time feature has also moved from iOS to macOS.Now users will be able to analyze their time consumption.

Another new app called Cycles allows users to track their menstrual cycles on both Apple Watch and iPhone and log important information.
tvOS 13
tvOS 13 — next software versionsoftware for Apple TV. There are also some nice improvements here, but for Russia this is not of particular value. In particular, support for multiple users has appeared, each of whom receives their own recommendations for viewing. The new Control Center UI will allow users to switch between profiles, and even music will be personalized for each profile.
Another new feature will be support for Xbox One and Playstation DualShock 4 controllers for games. Apple TV will also receive new HDR underwater screensavers along with tvOS 13.
New Mac Pro
Another surprise at the WWDC presentation— This is the announcement of a completely new Mac Pro, which has a brand new design made of stainless steel and aluminum. Eight internal PCIe slots.

The new Mac Pro will be available later this fall.

Together with the new Mac Pro, Apple announcedprofessional display 6K reference class called Pro Display XDR. The 32-inch display has a resolution of 6016 x 3384, which includes more than 20 million pixels. Among other features: 10-bit support, up to 1600 nits peak brightness, contrast ratio of 1 000 000: 1 and an optional stand that works in both landscape and portrait mode.
