Just ten days after the remarkable\u00a0Google I\/O event<\/a>, Apple is holding its own developers conference in the same place, Moscone Center, in San Francisco, CA. Traditionally, WWDC is focused on software and not hardware. That\u2019s why there was no point in expecting any new iPhones, news iPads, new MacBooks, and so on.<\/p>\n

Instead, the Fruit Company has announced new operating systems for all above-mentioned devices: OS X 10.11 \u2018El Capitan\u2019 for Macs, iOS 9 for mobile and watchOS 2 for wearables. Final releases of these OSs are expected in the fall at the same time as the release of new Apple gadgets. And now Apple offers beta-versions for developers (though you don\u2019t need to be an actual developer to try it).<\/p>\n

This new feature has a lot in common with Google\u2019s\u00a0Now on Tap new service<\/a>: it takes context into account and can even foresee what hints and search results users may want to obtain in given circumstances.<\/p>\n

Apple specifics that\u00a0it doesn\u2019t collect any user data for its own purposes. All that is important in this case is gathered in the picture above. And if you want to learn more about Apple\u2019s current viewpoint on security and privacy, you can read\u00a0what Tim Cook recently said in his blistering speech.<\/a><\/p>\n
