As we all know, Apple’s next version of iPhone system, iOS 14, is expected to be released at the online global developer conference held in June this year. However, according to the current news, several of the coolest features of iOS 14 have been leaked, such as a new way to use the App and an upgrade to the next generation of Apple Watch.
The word Widgets, though the more you write it, the more lame it is, but as a new function, it can already be used on iPhone. Widgets are icons that have more functions than regular app icons and can be automatically and dynamically adjusted. The weather widget is a simple example. The weather application icon on the iPhone just shows the sun sticking out from behind the clouds, while the weather widget will provide the latest weather information. News and stock widgets also automatically display the latest information.
In addition, a few APP icons will also change. For example, the calendar app icon always displays the correct date, and the clock app is Apple’s only dynamic icon to display the correct time, even to the second.
But on the iPhone, you can only access widgets through the Today view, such as swiping left from the application home page to find widgets.
Therefore, putting widgets and general application icons on the home screen will be a very big and exciting change for Apple. Internally, this function has its own name: Avocado.
However, before you look forward to it, a new report shows that the new system may not be as advanced as you think. According to Jon proser, consultant of Front Page Tech magazine, Avocado may arrive later. Jon proser is crazy about all kinds of rumors about Apple, from iPhone 12 to Apple AirPower.
Jon proser finally predicted that ios15 is more likely to launch these new features, and ios15 will not come out for more than a year. It would be a pity if it were true, but don’t give up hope. Jon Proser also predicts that third-party widgets in the control center are also an option.
As we all know, the control center is a gray screen of widgets displayed when sliding down from the upper right corner on the home screen. It has a flashlight switch and screen brightness adjustment, as well as a more advanced adjustment panel. Quickly click on the Wi-fi icon to turn WiFi on or off, and long press will open the connection panel; Press and hold the Wi-fi button to open the menu for accessing the network.
Imagine if you can add other widgets freely in the control center, and those commonly used widgets from third parties can also be added. For example, the Apple TV widget is there now. How convenient it would be if this feature were widely used and Amazon Fire TV box or Nest Thermostat had similar widgets?
Are you looking forward to the arrival of iOS 14?
