Apple announced the new iPhone operating system, iOS 14, at the first all-virtual Worldwide Developers Conference today, and we got all the information about iOS 14 features we've been looking for, but without the audience's reactions or the familiar pace of an Apple keynote. The theme of iOS 14 was an overall improvement in organization and functionality, with an experience that's "more beautiful and data rich." Some exciting features include new ways to organize and customize the iPhone Home screen with the App Library and Widgets, the ability to sample apps with App Clips, and some exciting improvements to group messages. Let's go over everything we learned about iOS 14, including new and improved features, when we can download the iOS 14 public beta, and when we can expect the rollout of the shipping version of the new iOS.

Did you know that your iPhone tracks everywhere you go? It does; and if there is a place you visit often enough, it marks it as a Significant Location (a feature formerly known as Frequent Locations). This tip will show you how to find your iPhone location history in your Location Services settings. And we'll also cover how to turn Significant Locations tracking off and how to clear your iPhone location history, in case looking at the list of all the places you frequently visit gives you the heebie-jeebies.

iPadOS 14 Rumor Roundup

By Mike Riley

Next week at its Wordwide Developers Conference, Apple will share all the details about what we can expect from the newest versions of its software for the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac. While a majority of the conference keynote is expected to focus on iOS 14 improvements, there will also be dedicated time set aside to discuss its superset, iPadOS. Features in iOS 14 will be replicated in iPadOS 14, whith added UI improvements specifically for the iPad platform. Since Apple is rumored to be replacing Intel CPUs with its own custom ARM processors in future macOS-based laptops, the differentiation between macOS and iPadOS will essentially boil down to a legacy OS that doesn't support touch and a modern OS that does. Apple's recent addition of mouse and trackpad support in iPadOS makes it clear that Apple intends to make iPadOS the successor to macOS, and perhaps in a few years, the two operating systems will merge into a single unified next-gen OS. But for now, the incremental improvements we expect Apple to announce at this year's WWDC include the following.

Keep Your Cables Neat & Hidden with Out of Sight Brackets

(Sponsored Post) By Nicholas Naioti on Thu, 06/11/2020

Visualize your perfect office or home entertainment setup. All your gear is synced—a monitor or two, a few speakers, an Apple TV, a router, a cable box, your laptop, a mouse or trackpad, a printer, and, of course, your iPhone, Apple Watch, and headphones or earbuds. In your mind's eye, everything is clean and orderly, but, in reality, there are unsightly wires and charging cables all over the place!
All this disorganization comes with a cost. To begin with, there's the stress of wasting time looking for the right cable and the frustration of attempting to dust or vacuum around your nest of wires. There are also multiple hazards for small children and pets, such as chewing on wires, tripping and falling over a cable on the floor, or even becoming entangled in the jumble of cords.
It's time to get this mess organized, and a universal mounting system from Out of Sight Brackets is the product you need to get it done.
