One of the more notable pain points with the Apple TV 4K will be addressed with the upcoming tvOS 14 update. Although it wasn't mentioned during today's keynote (unless I missed it), Apple says on their preview page for the update that 4K support is finally coming to the YouTube app.
Apple announced a number of new features for its various software platforms today, but this one kind of flew under-the-radar. During its presentation on HomeKit, the company displayed a slide that seemed to indicate the HomePod will soon be receiving support for third-party music services.
I'm not sure if I missed it, but it seems Apple glossed over a fairly important iPadOS 14 feature during its WWDC keynote. On the slide (seen above) mentioning new features for the next version of iPadOS, we spotted an interesting tab labeled 'Set default email and browser apps.'
The next version of iPadOS includes a new feature called 'Scribble,' which recognizes your handwriting and turns it into text. Apple says it has made big improvements to handwriting recognition, and the ability to turn it into text lets you quickly do things like edit, copy and format it.
As Apple continues to talk about iOS 14 and the future of the platform, they've announced another new feature we felt was worth mentioning. It's called App Clips, and it allows you to use specific app features without having to download the full app.
Apple's virtual WWDC 2020 keynote has begun, and right away the company has jumped into the future of iOS. Among the new features in the upcoming iOS 14 unveiled thus far is one called 'App Library,' which will automatically organize your apps in one easy view at the end of your pages.
