If you know, you know… The tech giant has unveiled a long list of upcoming features at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, and generating the biggest buzz is the update that will allow iPhone users to edit and undo sent iMessages – something that might be handy if you’re a tired/emotional texter… There’s also an upgrade to the dictation feature, with users able to convert selected text to voice. Personalised lock screens, notifications appearing at the bottom rather than the centre, and an easier way to open high rotation apps are part of the operating system update. And in one of its more futuristic offerings, Apple says it is in talks with major car manufacturers to implement an Apple display across car dashboards, allowing users to fully integrate their smartphone and vehicle. One change they’ll have to make by mid-2024 (in Europe at least…): the charging port on Apple devices will need to be via a ​​USB-C connector. It’s the first time politicians have stepped in to cut the cord clutter.
