iOS 14 beta promises to be one of the most ambitious updates to the operating system since iOS 7. Despite the fact that you should not expect a significant redesign from the OS, the planned innovations will prove to be extremely resource-intensive. As a result, this may lead to the fact that some devices, unfortunately, will be excluded from the list of compatible ones. won‘t get iOS 14 beta
Devices that won’t get iOS 14 beta
According to rumors, iOS 14 beta will not receive the following devices:
- iPhone 5s – iPhone 6/6 Plus
- iPad Air / Air 2
- iPad mini 2/3/4
This information is unconfirmed, and therefore relying on it 100% is not worth it. However, we assume that Apple may discontinue support for all of these devices. Especially possible refusal to further service the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, which have only 1 GB of RAM.
iOS 14 Features
New Icons
Yes, the system should be radically updated, not just icons. The last major update is iOS 7 and the rejection of skeuomorphism. The appearance of the system is constantly improving, but I already want to see something completely new.
In iOS 13, for example, they added the long-awaited dark theme and, judging by the reviews, everyone is very happy.
Incoming Call Window
It’s time for Apple to change the incoming call window, which closes the entire screen and stops applications, video recording, and just makes you answer or reject the call. I would like to see a small notification that can be minimized become the main feature of iOS14.
Keyboard with GIF
Emoticons are placed in a separate button – so you can add gifs. In general, it’s not much to be believed in adding GIFs: it’s difficult to moderate it, and the files themselves are often in poor quality.
iOS 14 Beta Release Date
The first beta version of the new operating system will be published on Monday, June 22th 2020, immediately after the presentation of WWDC. Only registered developers will be the first to get acquainted with the product. We will definitely tell you how to install iOS 14beta in the following articles.
