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.

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:

The beginning of the end for the 10 year operating system Windows 7

The beginning of the end for the 10 year operating system Windows 7

While in February, there was an increase in the Windows market share, Netmarketshare data for March show the opposite.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Last year Windows 10 overtakes Windows 7 to become the most widely used operating system. In December Netmarketshare accounted for 39.22% of the market by Windows 10 and 36.9% of the market from Windows 7.

In January shortly after Windows 10 began to grow, Microsoft announced that it would no longer offer support for Windows 7 after January 14, 2020. This means there will be no free security updates but some users can pay if they want support.

After the news that Windows 7 would be left to the pity, the operating system grew to 38.41% in the market in February but did not last.

Recent records say Windows 10 has gone up to 43.62% while Windows 7 has dropped to 36.52.

Of course this is the beginning of the end for the 10-year operating system Windows 7.
