When will iOS 14 be available?
I am September 16, 2020, California. 19 o’clock.
To update: Apple didn’t stick to the usual time frame. The update will take a long time to arrive on Tuesday night. And thousands of waiting iPhone users scoff at the delay on Twitter.
What should iPhone users do before the update?
You should definitely create a backup! Either via iCloud or locally on a Mac using the charging cable.
Should I update immediately?
It depends on. 😏
There is one Risks evaluation near:
- That they do not risk
canhe wants to wait a few more days and see if the “launch” of Apple’s new software goes smoothly. It pays to have so much patience when you have to depend on the iPhone and cannot allow the device to be frozen by a faulty update or certain applications no longer working as usual. - If you have the motto “No risk, no fun” then you should follow our advice below and only then start downloading and installing iOS 14.
I have installed a beta version of iOS 14, what should I be aware of?
Nothing special.
The “Golden Master” version, which corresponds to the final version of iOS 14, is now available.
Does IOS 14 work stably?
Yes. So it looks like if you look at the comments from the public test phase (public beta). At least compared to last year’s turmoil and iOS 13 update complications.
What does iOS 14 bring?
A multitude of new functions, but also numerous increasingly smaller optimizations in terms of design.
- Camera application: faster and better
- News app: Apple’s end-to-end encrypted messenger offers even more animations and new gadgets for memojis (punching, hugging, etc.). In addition, Apple has improved the group chat features and allows specific responses and mentions.
- Change default apps: For the first time, users can specify other applications such as browsers and mail applications.
- New home screen design
- Application library: summarizes all applications in an overview. Applications from different areas, such as social media, games, and creative applications can be grouped together.
- New widgets: You can organize the practical functions in different sizes on the home screen and mix them with applications according to your own needs.
- New call screen: Incoming FaceTime and phone calls no longer take up the entire screen, but appear in a new compact design.
- Application clips: a kind of mini-app that app developers are supposed to provide so that users can perform certain functions more quickly. They can be found through Safari, Maps, NFC, QR code, or the news app.
- Picture in Picture: Videos can be played in a small window to do other things at the same time.
- Siri: The language assistant is tricked and appears less intrusive only at the bottom edge of the screen.
- Translations: There is a translation app for 11 languages that also works offline, including conversation mode for simultaneous translations.
- More data protection: Users can better control what data they disclose to third-party applications.
- etc. etc.
