The next versions of the iPhone’s and iPad’s operating systems, iOS and iPadOS respectively, are looking good. Unveiled in a keynote at the online-only Worldwide Developers’ Conference 2020, they’re make significant strides on improving the way we use our iPhones and iPads. Unsurprisingly, they have a lot of features in common, which is probably why they’ve both been given the version number ’14’, even though this is only the second version of iPadOS since it split from iOS as a separate operating system for Apple’s tablets. But what do iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 have in store when they launch in September 2020, and what concerns do we have about the new systems?
8 Things We Like Here are eight announced features we like the look of.
1: Home Screen Widgets
Widgets give you information at a glance. They’re already a boon on the iPhone’s Today screen. iOS 14 takes things further, allowing you to add Home Screen Widgets for your apps anywhere. They’re to come in different sizes too, both on the Today screen and on the Home screen. This lets you choose what level of information you wish to display. On-screen widgets can be moved around the available screen area, just like app icons, and you can add and remove them as you wish. Best of all, you can add a Smart Stack of widgets and scroll through them to select the widget you need.
