iOS 14's Photos lets you zoom in on images further than ever before so most folks won't have to resort to trickery just to zoom in on their photographs beyond Apple's visibility threshold.
iOS and iPadOS 14 double down on privacy with a myriad of new features, including notifying you when an app or a widget access the system clipboard. Nest of all, this feature has already forced TikTok to promise to stop accessing the iOS clipboard after it was discovered that the app is grabbing clipboard content every few seconds.
Apple has added new capabilities to its Vision framework in iOS 14, iPadOS 14, tvOS 14 and macOS 11.0 Big Slur which enable developers to support cool screenless app interactions.
Apple officially unveiled iOS and iPadOS 14 for the first time on Monday as a part of its WWDC 2020 Keynote, and just this morning, checkra1n team co-developer Dany Lisiansky teased a screenshot of the checkra1n jailbreak working on an iPhone running iOS 14. If the words “that was fast” uttered from your mouth upon seeing this, then you’re not alone.
Lisiansky admitted that there was still a lot more work that needed to be completed before checkra1n could be deemed iOS 14-compatible, but as you might come to expect, things are progressing rather quickly thanks to the unique talent encompassed within the checkra1n team. Just this evening, checkra1n team co-developer Sam Bingner teased a screenshot of the Cydia package manager operating on an iPhone X running iOS 14:
Another privacy-enhancing feature brought out by the iOS and iPadOS 14 updates makes it so you can easily tell whether some app is currently shooting video with your device's camera.
iOS and iPadOS 14 are packed to the gills with a myriad of little tweaks and features that didn't even get a proper mention during the pre-recorded WWDC 2020 keynote talk, including a new battery notification that alerts you when you need to charge your AirPods.
The useful QuickTake feature plus changing video recording resolution and frame rate via dedicated toggles within the Camera app are now available on older devices as well.
In iOS and iPadOS 14, you'll see a handy new orange light indicator in the status bar of your iPhone and iPad whenever an app happens to be using your microphone.
One of the new features in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 brings stronger privacy to the Photos app via the ability to give apps access to specific images and videos rather than the entire library.
It was only a couple of days ago that Apple unveiled iOS and iPadOS 14 during the company’s WWDC 2020 keynote. Shortly after that, Apple launched its first developer beta of the updated mobile operating systems, allowing developers to go hands-on with the new features and prepare their apps for the update before it launches sometime this Fall.
While iOS and iPadOS 14 snagged a ton of features from the jailbreak community as Apple does every year with each substantial release, it doesn’t seem like jailbreaking will be going anywhere any time soon. In a Tweet shared late last night, checkra1n team co-developer Dany Lisiansky shared a teaser screenshot of the checkra1n jailbreak on the first iOS 14 beta:
Along with iOS 14 and macOS 11.0 Big Sur, Apple also revealed the next major update to the iPad lineup: iPadOS 14 at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference.
Earlier today, Apple hosted its special event keynote at this year's all-online Worldwide Developers Conference, and, as such, unveiled the newest versions of its operating systems.
