Here’s what we know about the iOS 14

iOS 14 was announced at Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC 2020) on the 22nd of June. However, the tech giant is yet to mention when it would officially be rolling out this update on its devices. However, they stressed that it would by Autumn which is somewhere around September.

As with many of their previous software rollout, this would be tied to the release of a new model. Speculations are rife that iPhone 12 won’t be released until October but iOS 14 will be available to users with iPhone 6s upwards.

Some features of this software update will include:

Home screen & interface changes: Bringing the customisation feel to the iPhone home screen as well as the App library feature that collages apps into categories with widgets coming in straight on the home screen.

Picture in picture: Allows you watch videos from apps directly on the home screen or if you want to multitask as you watch videos.

App store mini-apps: Allows you to download a small version of an app for test before a proper download, to be sure it is worth being in your library.

While a lot of iOS users expressed their anticipation on the release, Android users were quick to remind the iPhone counterparts that the cause of their excitement was already a feature on their devices as they berated iOS and Apple for coming on late.
