All Apple's upcoming innovations for iPhone and Mac Unveiled during the 2020 WWDC
The live streaming of the 34th edition of the WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference), the annual conference of software developers hosted by Apple, was broadcast on Monday, June 22nd, 2020. This year the event took place only online due to the COVID-19 emergency, but that did not mean a lack of announcements: CEO Tim Cook unveiled a series of implements and innovations that, starting from autumn, will involve all Apple technology (from the iOS 14 mobile operating system, up to iPadOS, macOS, to watchOS).
Here's everything that has been announced.
Apple iOS 14
The new version of the operating system for iPhones and iPads will undergo capital changes. The set of features will not only improve the functionality of the system but will make the Home Screen customizable as it has never been before. This is the most invasive update in the history of Apple Home Screen.
App Library. The first, big news will allow apps to automatically organize themselves according to their categories, completely changing the iPhone interface. In this way, it will be possible to choose how many pages of the Home Screen to display, but more importantly which ones to hide to access more quickly the App Library (which will appear at the end of all the Home screens). From the settings, users could also choose whether to add apps on the Home screen or only in the App Library.
Widget. Widgets are all those components that provide information about the apps or that allow users to quickly perform actions without opening the app in question. To be clear: they are all those windows that until now only appeared on the Today screen (swipe left). With the new update, these widgets will be integrated directly into the Home Screen among other applications and could even be grouped into a particular type of widget that collects all the other widgets (Smart Stack). All widgets will automatically change over the course of the day.
Both the iOS 14 preview and the macOS Big Sur previews are available on the official Apple website.
