All things considered, 2021 has been a very weird year so far when it comes to leading computing platforms. The first big developments of the year came from Apple, which hosted its big WWDC 2021 developer conference earlier this month. WWDC is always the platform Apple uses to reveal its upcoming new software updates for the year. And it should obviously go without saying that Apple's iOS updates are the most hotly anticipated unveiling each and every year since that's the software that powers Apple's insanely popular iPhones.
There is no question that iOS 15 was the most eagerly awaited part of Apple's WWDC 2021 keynote. There is also no question that Apple fans were hardly blown away when the company finally unveiled its big iOS 15 update. Long story short, it was a snoozefest — and that's putting it kindly. There are plenty of nice upgrades in iOS 15, but the consensus among users seems to be that none of them are worth getting too excited about. Meanwhile, macOS Monterey is packed full of nifty new features that had Apple fans buzzing. That's right, folks... Apple's new desktop OS update is more exciting than its new iPhone OS update. We never thought we'd see the day.
On Thursday, it was Microsoft's turn to steal the spotlight for its own big OS announcement. We all knew Windows 11 was coming thanks to leaks, though people didn't seem terribly excited earlier this week when they got their first glimpse of Microsoft's next-generation operating system. Would the real thing prove to be any better?
