6 things Apple copied from Android on iOS 14

The Android-iOS debate has only gotten hot with the debut of iOS 14

Ever since smartphones became part of our lives, iPhone and Android loyalists have consistently argued over who copied whom. The debate has only heated up with the debut of iOS 14. From the App Library to widgets on the Home screen, Apple iOS 14 is more like Android than ever before.

These are all features that Apple introduced with iOS 14 and that are inspired by Android:

#1. Widgets and Home screen adjustment

Widgets are nothing new for the iPhone. Even before that, you could add weather widgets or news. In iOS 14 you can add it directly to the Home screen. They can even be placed on different parts of the screen. This level of customization is standard on Android and is finally coming to the iPhone.

#2. The App Library is identical to the Android app panel

For years, when an iPhone user downloaded an app, it always lived on the Home screen. There was no way to hide apps just by deleting them or putting them in the directory. On Android you can choose which apps to display and which not. With iOS 14 Apple has brought this concept. Applications can be removed from the Home screen without deleting them.

#3. Home screen assistants

To activate Siri on iPhone, you need to launch the Siri app. But when iOS 14 arrives this fall, you can call Siri directly from the Home screen. Instead of opening an app, Siri can be opened by tapping directly on the screen, something Android has been offering for years with Google Assistant.

#4. Video with floating windows

Differently known as Picture-in-picture, screen-floating videos like those of YouTube have long been part of Android. With iOS if you’ve been watching a video and someone sends you a message and you want to read it, iMessage opens and the video closes. With iOS 14 a floating video will appear if they leave the app where you are watching it while opening another app.

#5. A new translation application

The first thing that comes to mind when you want to translate something is Google Translate. The service is the same in the application but also on the web. With iOS 14 Apple challenges Google Translate with its translation service 14 years since the debut of Google’s rival.

#6. App Clips are simple Instant Apps on Android

A new iOS 14 option is App Clips. The idea is to open an app without downloading it completely. For example to pay for a parking with a parking application that you do not have. This feature has long been available on Android.

Acer unveils their new Predator X25 360Hz Gaming monitor

Not that we need to, but who wouldn’t want to have one?

During the Next@Acer 2020 streaming gaming segment, Acer unveiled new Predator products, including a desktop and a laptop, an energy drink called the Predator Shot, a Bluetooth massage, and a boxing gaming chair. They also discovered the 360Hz Predator X25 monitor.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The Acer Predator X25 is a 24.5-inch 1080p monitor with a 360Hz refresh rate, bringing gameplay pleasing to the player’s eyes. Normally no one needs a 360Hz monitor when 240Hz and 144Hz are more than enough, but isn’t it a bad thing to have one or not?

The monitor supports G-Sync and uses LightSense, which allows the monitor to change the brightness and color temperature depending on the surrounding light. Another feature is Adaptive Light, which changes colors around the monitor depending on the view displayed on it.

The Acer Predator X25 will be coming to North America and Europe for a price of $1,100. Meanwhile, players can also purchase Acer’s cheapest monitor, the Predator XB3.

iOS 14 New Features

Here’s what you can expect on iOS 14

iOS 14 will be released this fall and will be supported by the iPhone 6S and beyond

The giant scene of the super event WWDC did not turn out to be more immune than all the other scenes of 2020, so Apple also introduces iOS 14 via live streaming a few hours ago. Useful, radical changes, but some of them have been encountered before in the world of smartphones.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Widgets are finally coming to the Home Screen. After 14 generations, Apple finally realizes their importance and even takes it one step further with “Smart Stack“, an option that automatically displays the right application depending on the time of day. The App Library organizes applications not only by grouping them as we see them now in all mobile OS’s. The iPhone finally allows you to hide apps from the home screen, but grouped not completely.

IOS users will finally get another multi-tasking taste through picture-in-picture videos which will allow you to continue to see the content by creating a smaller window while performing other tasks.

The app clip will allow you to use a specific feature of an app without having to install it. Using NFC tags and a new QR code specifically for Apple, everything can be used without creating new accounts, without installing anything, and even working with Apple Pay. You can also pay for the service of a parking lot or cafe with your iPhone without downloading anything without an account and without taking the wallet out of your pocket at all.

Sensing until a few years ago, Syria will undergo some really necessary changes this time. When called, it will no longer occupy the entire screen but a bar at the bottom and can also send voice messages not only dictated. Apple also says that compared to three years ago, Syria knows 20 times more facts, so let the strange questions flood.

Translate app will finally translate. Users can dictate or write their own texts and translate them into up to 11 languages, English, Chinese Mandarin, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Portuguese and Russian. Just like in Google Translate, with the help of a button, the application detects the language and translates in real-time what that foreigner told you, the tourist away from home.

Apple Maps also undergoes changes, in addition to the recommendation service the maps will be more friendly to cyclists, giving dedicated directions for cycling, including mountaineering, trails, stairs, and lanes. The first cities with this information will be New York City, San Francisco Bay Area, Shanghai, and Beijing.

And along with endless options for connecting to the car, charging stations but the most exotic is about switching the key to the smartphone, and the fact that a dedicated part of the smartphone will work to open and close the car even if the smartphone the battery has dropped. A separate section will reset up to 5 hours after shutdown.

Overall it looks like a good year to buy an iPhone. With changes not only in appearance but also an inconvenience, additional options, and AI implementation, it looks like this iOS will be more friendly than ever.

iOS 14

With iOS 14, Apple redesigns the iPhone screen, who will get it?

Apple has just announced iOS 14, along with iPadOS 14, on WWDC. But will you be able to get it on your phone?

At its annual conference held yesterday, Apple unveiled a new screen model for the iPhone with the release of iOS 14. The new initial screen will make it easier to navigate through all your apps.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Apple added a new App Library, a space at the bottom of your screen for organizing all your apps in a simpler and easier way to navigate. All your apps will be automatically organized there, giving you a broader view of what you’ve downloaded, and letting you hide apps you don’t use often, although you’ll be able to find them in the Application Library Later.

Apple is also adding a new feature that you can continue to watch a video or talk on a FaceTime phone while also using your apps. Drag the video to another part of the screen, zoom in or out, or simply drag it to ‘X’ to close it.

iOS 14 will be available later this year.

Which iPhones will get iOS 14?

Apple has been quick to reveal the full list of phones that will support the new app when it will be released later this year. You can see the full list of iPhones that will get iOS 14 below:

iPhone 11
iPhone 11 Pro
iPhone 11 Pro Max

iPhone XR
iPhone X
iPhone 8
iPhone 8 Plus
iPhone 7
iPhone 7 Plus
iPhone 6S

Apple continues to be excellent at supporting older devices and once again you will have the opportunity to get iOS 14 even on older devices than the first generation iPhone 7 and iPhone SE. How these phones will cope with the new program remains to be seen.

Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition will be free until June 26

Injustice: Gods Among Us of 2013s, by DC, is free to download on Steam. There is no specific reason why it is currently free, but this may be due to the approach of the “Fandome” event, which will celebrate all things related to DC. The event will also bring a new DC game from Warner Bros. Interactive.

During her 8-hour campaign, Injustice puts you in the place of various characters from the DC universe as you fight in the lands of various DC characters throughout a story set in a parallel universe.

It also has a Battle Mode, Versus Mode, Training Mode, and S.T.A.R. Labs, a mode that brings 240 specific challenges to each character. This makes you know the movement of a player down to the last detail. If you’ve always wanted to know what Superman would look like as a dictator or if you’re looking for a fighting game with a good story, Injustice is the right choice.

HTC U20 5G

With the new U20 5G smartphone HTC reminds us that it still exists

The U20 5G may disappoint you with its Snapdragon 765G processor, especially at the $640 price tag

Surprisingly, this Tuesday was a busy day for HTC. After introducing the Vive XR Suite, the company kept its promise to introduce its first 5G phone, the HTC U20.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Compared to other flagship smartphones, the U20 5G may disappoint you because of the Snapdragon 765G processor, especially with its $640 price tag. The only advantage of this processor is the integrated 5G modem that in theory will give better battery life. The same chip has been installed on the LG Velvet smartphone.

HTC U20 5G

The U20 has an FHD+ LCD display instead of an AMOLED display and as a result a fingerprint scanner instead of an optical version. This was done to reduce the cost of the smartphone but at least HTC has implemented a 32-megapixel selfie “punch-hole” camera.

The rest of the hardware is standard with 8GB of RAM, 256GB of memory, 5,000mAh battery, and four rear cameras: 48-megapixel main, 8-megapixel ultra-wide, 2-megapixel macro and 2-megapixel bokeh.

Google launches the first version of Android 11, everything you need to know

According to Google Android 11 brings changes in three spaces: Contacts, Control and Privacy

After several consecutive delays, Google is ready to launch the first experimental version of Android 11 for the masses. Those who have a Pixel 2 or newer phone can install the new operating system by subscribing to the company’s beta program.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Such versions of Android can be unstable and problematic. Only if you are one of the enthusiasts who want to test the latest news, otherwise we suggest you wait.

Android 11’s public beta was due to debut on June 3 with a virtual activity similar to Google I/O. The company pushed it in response to protests taking place in the country saying it was not the time to celebrate. According to Google Android 11 brings changes in three spaces: Contacts, Control, and Privacy. The first is about how you communicate with others with a section dedicated to the notification panel.

‘Conversation bubbles will make it easier to keep in touch while you are using or working on other applications. These bubbles are similar to what Facebook offers via Messenger. Applications can choose to use this new visual element and developers can easily add it to their applications.

Improvements have also come to the keyboard mainly in the suggestion belt and command control.

Android 11 will also bring improvements in controlling interconnected devices. By pressing the start button, the new operating system will open a control panel for connected devices such as speakers, headphones and TVs.

Last but not least is the control over privacy. With Android 11 come single-use permissions for apps.

Usually, when you install a new application during the configuration process some options appear which give them access to the camera, microphone, or location where users could access these unique components all the time (even in the background) and only when using the applications. The new operating system already offers permission for one use and the next time you open the application you will be asked for permission again.

So if you’ve downloaded an app and used it only once and don’t want to use it anymore, at least you don’t have to worry about how it’s accessing your location or your camera.

For developers, there are also new ones like machine learning or simpler “debugging”. There have also been rumors of some tools against robotic calls. Interface and navigation updates as well as new icon shapes are also expected.

With the advent of new experimental versions of Android 11 we will learn more about the operating system.
