iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS Ventura, and watchOS 9 for Users and Developers Books Now Available

Cover for the book

My book "iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS Ventura, and watchOS 9 for Users and Developers" is now available to purchase from Apple and Amazon. These are $4.99 each.

Also available today are the Black and White paperback as well as the Full-Color Hardcover. The paperback has a list price of $14.99 and the hardcover has a list price of $44.99.

This is the longest book that I have written to date. The word count is a bit more than 114,000 words. The print editions are 279 pages long. No matter what version you purchase it is chock-full of information that should be applicable to everyone.

Apple continues its cadence of yearly releases. iOS 16, iPadOS 16, watchOS 9, and macOS Ventura are packed with a slew new features.

The biggest change for iOS is the new customizable Lock Screen complete with widgets. For iPadOS and macOS there is a new window management feature called Stage Manager. Health gets some improvements with new medication tracking, including scheduling and notifications. If you use Photos there is now a new Shared Photo Library option.

Sometimes you need to quickly escape a situation. If that is the case the new Safety Check feature will quickly remove access to your apps, location, and Apple ID account.

For those who like to run there are new measurements as well as ways of racing against yourself with a new Race Route function. If you like to compete in Triathlons, you can use the new Multisport exercise to seamlessly move between sports.

For developers is a whole new WeatherKit Framework that utilizes the existing Async/Await features, and has a REST API. SwiftUI, Apple’s Swift-only UI framework, continues to evolve with a whole framework of its own, Swift Charts.

These topics are just some of the topics covered in iOS 16, iPadOS 16, watchOS 9, and macOS Ventura. The information contained within provides details about all of the new features of each operating system and has something for everyone, no matter what level of expertise.
