Is it?

I'm seeing iOS devs on twitter complain about multiple builds and redundant versions. I'm waiting for Xcode 12.1 the launch seems to be a mess.

No sign of it here yet.

I’m curious if it fixed some of the unpleasant behaviour and bugs that were never fixed in iOS 13.

Things like Mail not displaying new emails properly unless your went out and back into the mailbox. The keyboard autocorrecting to random names aggressively and inserting capital letters if you dare move the cursor. All new behaviours introduced with iOS 13 that adversely affect the user experience.

In 10 years, this is the first time I installed a beta version. It suffered a couple of issues, but they’ve been ironed out in my case.

I really love the new app drawer. My hundred barely-used apps are now neatly stowed there while I keep a single (Yes, one) Home Screen.

Widgets are nice but from what I understand they’re updated only once every 5 minutes, which makes them a lot less useful.

I've always arranged my homescreen to be a single screen with folders for each category of app. makes it much easier to find things. I'm always befuddled when I see ppl with 30 pages of apps.

As usual you're probably better off waiting for iOS 14.1 that will be out next week to clear up whatever UX breaking bugs they didn't catch during beta in this version.

I'm surprised that AirPods didn't support automatic device switching until now.

I assumed a lot of people with AirPods would want to switch the audio seamlessly between their iPhone and an iPad or Mac.

Any idea why it took so long to ship this feature?
