hi everyone aaron here for zollotech and
in two weeks we should see the first
beta of ios 14.
in two weeks ios 14 should be revealed
at wwdc
where it will be a little bit different
than previous years where they'll
actually have it remote
and everyone will be able to tune in
live we believe so we should be able to
see that and we'll see the first
version of ios 14 and all of the new
features
so i want to share with you what we know
with ios 14 so far as far as what to
expect
and the first thing is every other year
and i've talked about this in the past
it seems like
ios is less stable and then it's more
stable and then it's less stable and
more stable
and so ios 14 should be all about
stability it should be much better
but only time will tell also the devices
i expect it to be available on
seem to be hinting more and more that it
will still be on the iphone
6s so if you have an iphone 6s or a 6s
plus
or one of the older devices it looks
like it's still going to be supported
and that will be the first time apple
has
really supported older devices that long
but it seems like
a reasonable conclusion and so hopefully
we see that
now the first thing is features that we
expect and the first thing is
a list view now on the apple watch we
have a list view already
so if you just click the the digital
crown here
instead of sorting this by kind of that
grid view they call it
you can just press and hold and go to
list view and you have everything sorted
alphabetically
we should see something similar to that
with ios 14
if the information is correct and so if
i go into photos here i created this
quite some time ago
this would give you an idea of what it
might look like where you'd be able to
search your app at the top
and have everything alphabetically so
you could just tap on whatever app you
want
i don't know if there'll be a quick way
to enter into that or something else
but maybe we'll see that and then
another thing that some people are
saying we might see and others are
saying we might not
are widgets on the home screen where we
could resize maybe the weather widget
or the weather app to maybe take up four
squares or four
app icons and sort of these widgets here
similar to that
maybe we'd be able to have our battery
for our devices
maybe at the top we don't know if this
is true yet some people are saying
to expect it others are saying not to
expect it
but we should see something similar to
the control center
as far as this goes so maybe we'll have
resizable icons hopefully we will but we
don't know a hundred percent
now there's new information about an
augmented reality app i've talked about
this in the past and apparently its code
name is gobi
and what it would allow us to do is scan
qr codes which is kind of weird because
we can already scan qr codes with the
built-in camera app if you have them
but it looks like it may have something
to do with maybe later on with augmented
reality glasses something like that
but we can expect something similar to
that in the future
what it does exactly we'll have to wait
and see now
along with an activity app that we have
here it looks like you can expect
a fitness app as well so not only will
you have your activity
and your workouts but maybe a separate
workouts or fitness app
where you can compete with friends or
join in with friends remotely
and do the same workouts regularly so it
looks like maybe we'll have something
like that whether it be trends or
workouts or whatever you'd like
hopefully we'll have a separate app for
that now one thing i'm looking forward
to if this is true
is the ability to change the default app
so for example maybe you're in twitter
and you want to open a web link
but you want it to open not in safari
but maybe
chrome or firefox or another browser
hopefully we'll have that ability the
same is true with mail so maybe we want
to open email send and send an email to
someone
instead of having to actually tap the
link copy things and then go into our
current email app
we would be able to go into our settings
here and and configure
which application is default such as
safari or mail maybe even music we could
change
stock music to spotify something like
that we've been able to do that for
years on mac so there's no reason we
can't do that on an iphone so
hopefully we'll see that on iphone and
ipad as well
now aside from third party defaults
there was something really exciting with
wallpaper now i know a lot of you love
the wallpapers that i put in every video
and i always link them in the
description
and this particular update should have
or ios 14 should have a revamped
wallpaper section
so if you go into wallpaper you go to
choose new wallpaper
instead of having what we see here we
would have a way to organize them
into categories so instead of just
stills we could have
maybe gradients or maybe live
live motion or maybe ones that even
switch over time
there's been some leaks about what this
could look like but
that doesn't necessarily mean that's the
final version but it looks like we'll be
able to categorize our wallpaper
and sort them that would be really
helpful for not only people that use ios
14 but myself as well when i share them
with you now one of the newer bits of
information about ios 14 is that safari
may have a built-in translator
so maybe you go to apple's website or
maybe you're on a different website and
you only read english
but it's in spanish or japanese you'd be
able to actually translate it within
the application itself instead of having
to use say google translate
so maybe you go up here tap on the the
menu button here
and maybe hit a button that says
translate and then we'd be able to see
exactly what all of this says if it's
not in the language we natively speak
so hopefully we'll see something like
that that would be a great feature
google translate does a great job but if
it's built into safari i'd welcome that
now a feature i use all the time is find
my
this app is very helpful if you have
family members that maybe you want to
know where they are
or how close they are to you and it
looks like it's going to get a new
feature
where it will allow you to actually let
you know if they don't arrive somewhere
so maybe you have a child going off to
college
it should take them a couple hours to
get there and if they're not there in a
couple hours it would let you know
and it would alert you and you could
check in on them so you could not only
see where they're at but it would let
you know that hey they didn't
hit this waypoint or this specific spot
at this time
of course this would all have to be
allowed and i have my family members on
here and i use it all the time but that
would be an additional feature that
would be great now within find my
it looks like we're going to get some
new air tags so that will be really nice
we'll have the ability to maybe have an
air tag
that's something we could place in a
backpack or something that we want to
keep track of
we'd be able to track it within the find
my app as well so that would be really
nice
and not only your apple watch ipad and
mac for example or iphone
you'll be able to track whatever you'd
want so you could maybe put it
in a backpack that has a macbook or
something valuable in it and be able to
track it if you lost it
or maybe someone took it you'd still be
able to track it now something i think
that would be really valuable that
supposedly is coming to ios 14
is the ability to restore the iphone
without using a mac
so currently you can restore it but if
you have an issue
on the way maybe it doesn't work right
it goes into recovery mode
you have to plug it into a mac and then
restore it or a windows computer with
itunes
there may be a new way to where you can
actually plug your iphone
into your ipad or maybe someone else's
iphone to help you restore it so
instead of having to have a mac around
or a computer
you'll be able to restore between
devices or just have an
internet recovery like mac does as well
so i would really welcome that it makes
a lot of sense
and hopefully we see that with ios 14.
now with ios 14
keychain should get an update where it
has more advanced features now currently
if you use a password manager it could
be one password it could be lastpass
or any of the others out there it should
get more advanced features like those
but built into ios itself so you'll have
under your settings you've got passwords
and accounts and if you put your
passwords in here you can have a
different password for every account you
have to help keep it secure
and that's something i've been doing for
years so
with that we may get additional features
so what those are specifically i'm not
sure yet but
i look forward to maybe having it
replace a password manager
but i do like to have passwords in
different places
just because i don't necessarily want
everything with apple or everything with
google for example now with ios 14 it
looks like home kit
should be getting a significant update
as well not necessarily a redesign
but more features that would allow you
to customize things like your home
so for example where your phone could go
to dark mode based on the time of day
or it does night shift for example you
could set your lights in your house to
do the same thing through home kit
so as the sun goes down or comes up in
the morning
you'd be able to turn your lights on and
off and have them sort of fade in
between
if that's a possibility so that would be
really nice
right now you can just kind of toggle
things on and off and it works fine so
if i toggle this on
it takes a second and then your lights
might turn on and it works fine but it's
not necessarily highly customizable so
more options would be great and maybe
simplify it a bit as well now with ios
14 there should be some great updates to
accessibility
specifically for the hearing impaired so
that would be something that i would
really welcome for those that have
hearing impairments what it will allow
it to do is actually use the microphone
in the phone and listen for things like
sirens or maybe a fire alarm going off
and if it does it will use haptic
feedback within the phone to alert you
that
there's something going on and so if if
you have that issue that's another great
addition to
accessibility and apple really keeps
focusing on this year to year and has
been adding some great features
now there's continuous mention of car
key now i've talked about this with ios
13.5
and up and it looks like the code is
already in there
to support using your phone as your car
key so if you have an nfc based car
key similar to maybe a tesla or in fact
bmw looks to be the first one to do this
where you can use your phone to actually
unlock your car not only through an app
but be by being able to be near it or
tap your phone
to that car so that looks like something
that should be coming very soon we
haven't seen it with ios 13 so
probably with ios 14. now there's a few
more things
one of them has to do with eclipse api
which would allow some apps to be
activated even when not installed now
google does have something similar to
this so for example maybe you'd use your
phone
scan a qr code and then it would open
the app store
and show you a little card similar to
what we get in here
maybe we'd have a card like this but the
app would be active somewhat so that we
could use it
and then if we need to install it we can
so it would sort of let you use
parts of the app without actually fully
installing the app
so it looks like this is going to be
coming up and it will be helpful for
those that don't want to fully install
an
app but want to see parts of that
information that someone sends you for
example maybe someone sends you
a music link for spotify but you don't
have spotify
it could go into the app store grab that
part of spotify play the music back
without installing the app overall with
ipad os we should get all of the
features i've already mentioned
but we should also get some additional
features with the apple pencil so if all
the information is true all of those
features will come to the ipad and ipad
pro ipad air and mini
but we should get additional features if
we're using an apple pencil so if you
have a first or second generation pencil
the idea is you'll have more features to
interact more easily within safari and
maybe other apps will have more
options for maybe circling something
interacting with it in real time and
then maybe sending it off to someone
else so you can scroll now
you can sort of select things go into it
but there's supposed to be
more interactions throughout so
hopefully we'll see that
and it will be really interesting to see
what apple has for that
and then finally there should be some
updates for shortcuts within the ipad
so that if you're using a keyboard you
can turn up things like the volume
without having to have a little strip at
the top of your keyboard to allow you to
do that
so with a mac you got you've got all
those different easy function keys but
on ipad with a magic keyboard you don't
so you have to go to the top right turn
the brightness up or down and that's not
horrible but it'd be nice to be able to
do everything from the keyboard
and it looks like they're working on
shortcuts for that and so
that's everything we know so far i would
expect a few things we don't know of
course
hopefully it's better than we expect and
hopefully it's a lot more stable than
ios 13.
so i'm looking forward to that it's only
a couple weeks away and
hopefully there's some really exciting
features with it but let me know your
thoughts about it in the comments below
of course i'll link this wallpaper in
the description as i always do and if
