Oh how exciting - now if they only removed their restriction of OS installations on old devices then maybe I could make use of it. As it is it's just another nail in the coffin for me ever being able to download an app ever again because their app store doesn't do backwards compatibility well and everything needs to go through the app store.

#82https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-13/features/ new redirects to https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-14/features/ , which seems like an unnecessary hacky way to get your SEO up. Separately: is it just me or has Apple lost its innovative edge? Widgets and app drawer, that's the huge new update? Android has had these for, like, 5+ years. Not that android has had anything super exciting lately, either. Maybe phone OSes have kind o…
I could say the same for android 11: screen recording, and centralized home automation control are old news for iOS users.

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.
I just swipe down for Spotlight and use that as an app launcher, so I'll probably love the app drawer. I'm equally baffled by people doing it any other way :-) Do you organise your applications on your computer by category as well?
I definitely used to back in Windows 95-2000 days. It was one of those things people like me who cared too much and wanted to share screenshots of their beautiful desktop / wallpaper / skins / etc used to do.
I don’t anymore. Eventually the regular reinstalls became too much effort re-setting all of my endless customisations. Trained me well for the modern era of “photos app not working right? Have you tried erasing all contents and settings and not restoring from backup?”

As a user, please no.
As long as you could approve or reject push notifications on a site by site basis, what is the problem here?
The problem, to me, is being prompted to approve or reject push notifications on a site by site basis. Unless I can have a blanket "shut off" option that applies to anything in a webview, I'd prefer none at all. It'd also be preferable if that blanket shut off option came shut off by default.

#85I'm not touching that update with a 10 foot pole. Not until it's been live for at least a week, and developers have had a chance to actually update their apps for it! Honestly, that's just good policy on all Apple updates lately. It seems that more and more of them have been plagued with issues and are trailed by hotfixes. I've learned to just wait a while. Other people can be the test guinea pigs!
I usually delay MacOS updates by at least a month for this very reason.

#86Faithful iPhone SE (1st gen) user checking in. Thankful to still be in the club. This will likely our last.
If you're hanging onto it, like me, because it's small and not because it's cheap, there are rumours that the launch of the iPhone 12 in October will include a 5.4" model. It would be the smallest they've released since the original SE, and will have flat edges too.

#87One iOS 14 feature I’m really looking forward to is the use of banners instead of full screen notifications for incoming phone calls.

I’m using developer beta since the first release 0 issues both system and app wise.
I had quite a few issues 2-3 builds ago but it seems to be really stable now.

Thanks for letting us know. I'm in Toronto, so I appreciate it.

Because for every useful site, there are 99 abusing the feature for advertising. Same as for location.
A friend the other day thought their laptop had a virus because they had inadvertently turned on notifications for some spammy website. Took me a while to work out how to turn it off.
