It is no longer news that Apple released its latest iOS 14 on the first day of its virtual WWDC 2020.
The release of iOS 14 was never a hidden secret as Apple upgrades its iOS. So next year, expect iOS 15.
For now lets focus on the iOS 14 and some of its exciting features.
App Library
Your App Library doesn’t need to be all over the place anymore. With iOS 14, you can automatically arrange all your apps into one, easy-to-navigate view and also automatically categorizes them. There a search bar to search for an app you can’t find.
Widgets
Widgets have been left untouched for years. However, Apple has made some changes to its widgets. The Today View, where the iPhone houses widget, were separate from the Home Screen. But now, iOS 14 widgets can be found in 2 different ways: from the Today View, or you can move them directly onto your Home screen. Widgets can now be of different sizes and you can even stack up to 10 widgets together on the Home screen.
App Clips
An App Clip is a small part of an app experience designed to be discovered the moment it is needed. App Clips are associated with a particular product or business, and load within seconds to complete a specific task, such as renting a scooter, purchasing a coffee, or filling a parking meter. They can be easily discovered and accessed by scanning a new Apple-designed App Clip code,1 or through NFC tags and QR codes, or shared in Messages or from Safari, all with the security and privacy expected from apps.
Translate
Translate is designed to be the best and easiest app for translating conversations, offering quick and natural translation of voice and text among 11 different languages. On-device mode allows users to experience the features of the app offline for private voice and text translation.
Siri
Siri expands its knowledge, helps find answers from across the internet, and can now send audio messages. Keyboard dictation runs on device when dictating messages, notes, email, and more.
Digital car keys
Digital car keys give users a secure way to use iPhone or Apple Watch to unlock and start their car. Digital car keys can be easily shared using Messages, or disabled through iCloud if a device is lost, and are available starting this year through NFC.8 Apple also unveiled the next generation of digital car keys based on Ultra Wideband technology for spatial awareness delivered through the U1 chip, which will allow users to unlock future car models without removing their iPhone from their pocket or bag, and will become available next year.
