The Apple developers conference WWDC20 has been launched online and iOS14 was released. So what are the new features of iOS14?
1. Desktop components: Support dragging components to the home screen and support smart stacking. Interface layout is more free.
2. Picture-in-picture: You can make the video stay on the screen, and support full-screen playback or zoom.
3. Translation function: Translate supports text translation and real-time voice translation, supports English, Mandarin, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Portuguese and Russian; supports offline translation; you can use it differently from foreign netizens In the language.
4. App resource library view: The application can be automatically organized into new groups and lists. Allow users to hide applications on their home screen.
5. Siri UI new design: Siri no longer takes up the full screen, supports sending recordings, keyboard dictation function, more new languages.
6.iMessage: Added list designation function, Memoji update, group visual image can be customized.
7. Apple maps: The navigation function is updated, the details are more abundant, the riding guidance is added, and the congestion display is added.
8. CarPlay: Add new wallpaper and digital car key function, use iphone to unlock the car door. Before unlocking the car, the user needs to use the face ID or fingerprint ID for identity verification, and can also set the quick mode to skip biometric authentication. Users can share access rights with others through iMessage. Apple said that the iOS 13 system will also implement this feature. Apple's CarKey also allows users to save digital keys for multiple cars.
9. App Clips: You can make quick payment through Safari, map or NFC; Scan and quickly open specific functions in the APP.
10. Privacy protection features: Includes new protection features that prevent users from being tracked by applications and websites, and a series of incremental updates to existing systems. Such as allow users to prevent specific apps from collecting data about your location, but the new version of the iOS system also allows users to share approximate location data.
I'm glad that Apple is improving its UI design and adding more practical functions. The icture-in-picture, App resources arrangement and CarPlay functions make it more smarter than Android. I like the Carplay which allows people unlock the car by simply placing the Apple device close to the car's NFC near the door handle of the car. Other car manufacturers have provided digital keys with similar functions, but they are often stand-alone applications that are not directly embedded in Apple's operating system.
It's worth to mention that the new functions of iOS 14 could be used in iPadOS.
