iOS14

iOS 14 will bring an array of new

features for AirPods and AirPods Pro.

HOME SCREEN

Swiping right from the Home screen

in iOS 13 or iPadOS reveals widgets,

small windows into content and functions

provided by different apps. But in iOS 14,

widgets are mixed right into your app

icon grid. Each can be a square taking up

four app slots, a full–width rectangle, or a

half–screen block. So their content can

vary from a quick status update or

interactive control to a news feed or

weather report.

Naturally, you can arrange widgets as

you like — you could just stick them all on

a separate page if you prefer. Or opt for

a Smart Stack, a fixed position where the

most relevant widget will appear at any

time, based on your app usage.

We get intimate with the new features in

the latest version of iOS and iPadOS
