One thing that characterises iOS 14, Apple’s latest OS for the iPhone, more than anything else is that it enables you to accomplish your tasks more easily. It does this both by better organising apps and features, and displaying them in ways that better fit with how most of us use our phones.
So, we have redesigned Widgets, Smart Stacks and App Clips. This last one is particularly intriguing as it enables you to access some of the functionality of an app without installing it.
Incoming call notifications now only take up part of the screen, which means they no longer feel like such an intrusion if you’re working in another app when they come in.
Siri has gained more smarts and can now suggest apps when you first pick up your phone, and there are plenty of improvements to the Camera app, Maps, and, as you would expect, to privacy in Safari and elsewhere.
