But even though Apple did not unveil their new phones, they have still decided to launch the new version of the iOS operating system as usual. This means that iOS 14 will be available today (Wednesday).
If we know Apple well, it means the morning on the west coast of the US, which is the evening here in Norway.
It has been inspired a lot by Android
The new operating system has a wide range of new features. The most obvious thing is that this time Apple has been inspired a lot by Android. Of the most important novelties, there are many characteristics that the competitor has had for a long time.
- You can add widgets to the home screen. This means that the home screen gets its first major visual update since the iPhone was launched.
- You get a separate app library of all the apps on your mobile device and the home screen is separate. This means that the apps don’t necessarily have to be on the home screen, they can only be in the library.
- You get picture in picture, with support for YouTube videos, among other things
- When it rings while working with the mobile, only a banner will appear, the call will not take over the entire screen
Incoming calls appear as a banner.
Other news include:
- App clips, which is a feature where an app only occupies parts of the screen in certain situations
- The mobile can act as a car key in car types that support the function (CarPlay functionality)
- Safari can translate web pages
- Much better control over privacy, including the ability to give apps only rough information about where you are. For example, the application may know that you are in Oslo, but not in which direction.
- You can search in emojis
- Tagged in group conversations
- You can pin calls in the Messages app
- … and much more
How to get a new iOS 14

However, if you don’t want to wait, you can do the following:
