iOS 14 finally adds widgets to the iPhone home screen
[ad_1] The app library has a search bar, naturally, and it also shows a recently added and “suggestions” group so you can find things there quickly. Something iOS users have requested for years appears to be coming true: Home screen widgets. The iPhone and iPad have had a dedicated screen for widgets for years, but […]
What to expect from Apple’s online-only WWDC 2020
[ad_1] There’s at least one other sign that Apple is rethinking its old conventions. Mark Gurman at Bloomberg reported earlier this year that the company is considering letting people set third-party apps as the default for actions like writing emails and web-browsing, rather than Mail and Safari. The move would be great news for Apple’s […]
iOS 14 reportedly leaked in February from a development iPhone
[ad_1] It’s difficult to say how much the leak will affect (or reflect) the finished iOS 14 release. Apple isn’t expected to preview iOS 14 until WWDC in June, and it’s entirely possible the company has cut or changed features in the past several months. It could likewise be difficult to assess security flaws when […]

In theory, that could […]
Apple may release a large version of its upcoming budget iPhone
[ad_1] Effectively, both of these lower-cost iPhones are expected to replace the iPhone 8 series and reel in both budget buyers as well as those who aren’t willing to jump to modern iPhone designs with Face ID. The same code also hints at four updated iPad Pro models, possibly referencing WiFi and cellular revisions to […]
iOS 14 might let you scroll through apps in a list view
[ad_1] Users will be able to see apps that have unread notifications, or filter apps by most recent activity. The list view will also include Siri-powered smart suggestions, so for example, it might recommend the Music app when you get to the gym, 9to5Mac says. The changes could make it easier to see all of […]
Apple may expand mouse support with iPadOS 14
[ad_1] For the most part, the expanded mouse support would bring the cursor features Mac users are familiar with to iOS. But the pointer may disappear automatically when mouse or trackpad activity stops, 9to5Mac reports. There may also be other Mac gestures, like tapping with two fingers to right-click. Last month, rumors began circulating that […]
Apple Watch may get a kids mode and sleep tracking
[ad_1] Currently, a single iPhone can be paired to multiple Apple Watches, but only one can be used at a time. Plus, any Watch paired to the iPhone has to use the same Apple account. This is fine for a single person that has several Apple Watches, but it doesn’t work well for families — […]
