With Monday's Apple keynote behind us, we're already in the third day of the WWDC 2020, which means the iDB team has had a decent chance to spend some quality time with the betas by now. We've tried out all of the latest improvements that Apple showed off during the pre-recorded keynote or mentioned in developer documentation and on its website.
Apple this morning shared a new video recap highlighting some of the developer features it explored in detail during the second day of its five-day WWDC 2020 event.
According to an ex-Intel engineer, bad quality assurance of Intel's Skylake chips has reinforced the notion within Apple that the company should hasten its long-expected switch to its own in-house designed desktop chips based on its custom sic lion in iOS devices.
The iPhone’s Lock Screen is a straightforward interface that acts as a gateway between the user and the Home Screen or last-used interface. While it does its job, many would likely agree that it could do with improvements — some major and some minor.
Enter Arise, a newly released jailbreak tweak by iOS developer EthanDoesMC that aims to make any jailbroken iPhone’s Lock Screen more lively with exiting and obvious features that will make you question Apple’s own innovation.
Apple officially unveiled iOS and iPadOS 14 for the first time on Monday as a part of its WWDC 2020 Keynote, and just this morning, checkra1n team co-developer Dany Lisiansky teased a screenshot of the checkra1n jailbreak working on an iPhone running iOS 14. If the words “that was fast” uttered from your mouth upon seeing this, then you’re not alone.
Lisiansky admitted that there was still a lot more work that needed to be completed before checkra1n could be deemed iOS 14-compatible, but as you might come to expect, things are progressing rather quickly thanks to the unique talent encompassed within the checkra1n team. Just this evening, checkra1n team co-developer Sam Bingner teased a screenshot of the Cydia package manager operating on an iPhone X running iOS 14:
For those who need (or want!) to use Windows, but prefer Apple hardware, Boot Camp has made it possible to use Microsoft's desktop operating system on Apple's computers for years. But that is coming to an end soon.
While Apple has introduced private and secure means to store usernames and passwords, implementing them can still be a bit of a chore. So Apple has a new idea to bypass those entry fields with Safari 14.
Another privacy-enhancing feature brought out by the iOS and iPadOS 14 updates makes it so you can easily tell whether some app is currently shooting video with your device's camera.
While Apple continues to monitor the situation regrading the novel coronavirus and COVID-19, the disease it causes, the company continues to make changes in regards to its physical retail stores.
Apple launched Game Center with iOS 4 way back in 2010. Since then, Apple has ebbed and flowed with regard to supporting the service. But with iOS 14, tvOS 14, and macOS 11.0 Big Sur, the company is ready to breathe new life into it.
iOS and iPadOS 14 are packed to the gills with a myriad of little tweaks and features that didn't even get a proper mention during the pre-recorded WWDC 2020 keynote talk, including a new battery notification that alerts you when you need to charge your AirPods.
