As the Apple universe continues to expand, there are a few things we had to give you an insight into after Apple's WWDC 20 announcement covering what we can expect from Apple in the future. Check out the things that caught our eye below.
iOS 14
Some of the rememberable parts of Apple IOS that we have come to know and love have gotten a significant update in appearance and usability in Apple's IOS 14. Take a cruise with us into some of the new upgrades.
Home Screen Widgets:
The home screen widgets were redesigned to make your home screen content more informative and easy‑to‑navigate view at first glance. Before this massive overhaul, Apple's home screen was exclusive to Apple's internal widgets unless manually changed. Now you can arrange your home screen with differently sized widgets which not previously offered. Not only can you control the look of your home screen, but IOS 14 will now automatically curate your app placement based on how often you use that app, saving you tons of time on searching for where you placed your Twitter app.
Compact Calls:
Tired of that weird all-consuming screen when you get an incoming call, Facetime, or while using your favorite app? Us too! Finally, Apple has created a new all-compact picture in picture design that takes up less of your screen, allowing you to continue your task with minimal interruption.
Messages:
Bringing back the vibes of Myspace with your top peeps, IOS 14 offers Pinned Conversations. Pinned Conversations lets you pin your nine most important conversations to the top of your messages list to access quickly while on the go.
Ready to add some visual fun to your group convos with the use of photos and Memojis, group photos are the way to go!
We can all admit that it can be head to keep messages in order and reply when we are mention, so now Apples has added Mentions to messaging platform highlighting your name whenever you are mentioned in a message. The feature even allows customization to receive notifications each time you are referred.
With that being said, ever have a group conversation with ten people, all asking different questions unrelated to the original message? Now, Inline replies is a new way to streamline group conversations to topics and people you need to reply to in-group discussions.
New Memoji and Stickers:
Peep the new Memoji and Stickers:
Apple has added over 20 new styles to reflect your personal style.
Maps:
Discover more advanced ways to explore and navigate your World with the upgrades to maps.
Cycling directions now give you insight into bike lanes, paths, and roads safe for travel in your neighborhoods, making the day to day commute simple.
Have an electric car? Plan your trip around charging stations during your trip.
Safari:
With such considerable integrations to IOS 14, it only right that Safari gets a facelift. Apple has now made Safari more capable than ever through speed, power, and a significant boost in privacy protections leading the tech giant to dub Safari the "World's fastest mobile browser."
AirPods:
AirPods got a few new tricks to elevate your listening experience while listening to your favorite Podcast, new music release, or movie on the go.
New features to the AirPods include a new battery notification at the top of your screen to indicate when its time to charge your AirPods, so you are never left without them on the go.
Were you tired of not being able to hear clearly on your AirPods on the daily? Now, you can adjust your AirPods to amplify sounds to your hearing, making phone calls, music, and more to your liking.
In addition, Apple has added a seamless automated transition feature allowing you to shift from a call on your iPhone to watching a movie on your iPad.
Apple did not give a specific date on when IOS 14 will be available to the public, but assured IOS lovers it would be out this Autumn. All these new updates will be available across all Apple devices, including iPadOS 14, watchOS 7, and macOS Big Sur.
