Earlier this week, Apple organized theWorlwide Developer Conference 2020.You can find our full summary at this address. During the event, the firm notably unveiled iOS 14, the latest version of its smartphone operating system. Among the changes made to the software, we find some additional alerts,including some related to confidentiality in order to better protect users' personal data. But Internet users who were able to access the beta as developers noticed other improvements…

Indeed, from now on, wireless headphonesAirPodsand AirPods Pro receive a notification warning them that their earbuds may quickly run out of battery if they do not recharge them quickly. The shape and color of the sticker displayed on the screen are different from other messages sent by third-party apps such as social networks, which makes it easier to distinguish them.

The watch too

But that's not all, since theApple Watchalso welcomes a very practical solution: it can now warn you as soon as it is completely recharged.Remember that sleep tracking is integrated with watchOS 7, its endurance risks being drastically reduced in those who use it. They will then be forced to plug it in more regularly. As a reminder, the beta of the program will be accessible to the general public by July, with marketing announced for the fall.

This is compatible with Series 3, Series 4 andSeries 5that are connected to an iPhone 6s or later, running iOS 14 and above. On the other hand, not all the features launched Monday evening during the Special Event keynote are necessarily accessible: there are specific features depending on the device you have on your wrist. But everyone seems to be entitled to the new battery notifications from the Watch and AirPods.
