The main innovation in the recently released final version of iOS 14 is the revised user interface, which brought features like desktop widgets, pop-up notifications, picture-in-picture mode for viewing videos on top of other windows and updating the standard. . Applications. For many years, Apple has been slow to implement these useful features that were implemented in the Android operating system a decade earlier. As expected, this was the reason for the appearance of jokes on the Internet, to which Google itself has joined.
For example, this morning a Twitter post from @madebygoogle it showed the desktop of the recent Google Pixel 4a with a reminder widget labeled “Realize we’ve had 4ever widgets” and “Tell the world.” Remember that widgets have been available since the first version of Android 1.0, released in 2008. The Internet community is not far behind, which is ironically reminiscent of the existence of functions such as multiple windows, launching videos in a window over applications (image in image) and pop-up notifications about calls made in 2011-2012.
