If you have a ton of Home Screen pages like I do, you have to tap/drag a long way to the App Library to be able to restore the "hidden" apps.
Translation is still wonky for EN↔JP: "Test" gets translated into Japanese as "Testament", okay...
From the update: "Option to set your default email and web browser". Finally!
I set Spark to my default email app, but clicking on mailto: links in Safari still shows Send button greyed out because no accounts are configured in Mail.app.

My homescreen is my frequently used apps and then a few subsequent screens are basically like (the now mythical) travel that include a folder for less frequently used apps in the category.
I dislike how you can't (or couldn't - I haven't installed iOS 14 yet) arrange home screen icons like you can on Android. On Android, I would put my four most used icons in each corner, and leave the rest of the screen empty. So, on iOS, I only use the top row for icons, and all the rest are on a second screen. My motive is that I want to see my beautiful wallpaper, which in this case a picture of my daughter.
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 experien…

> You still haven't stated anything other than your opinion. That's all either of us have been doing. [EDIT] and an opinion can be a reason ! They're not mutually exclusive. Do you need an itemized list of problems I have with webapps, with figures backing them all up (else they'd be opinions again, I guess)? I figured that'd been discussed to death, especially on HN. > Having a choice is always better than not havin…
> That's all either of us have been doing...and an opinion can be a reason! An opinion is pretty worthless without some reasoning.

Then end up in an argument with a certifiable troll and/or moron (one can never tell), while not even attempting to argue, even a little, mostly just trying to figure out why they're so angry and (every single time) bad at reading. Then get frustrated at how spectacularly shitposting-tolerant HN is despite its self-image and set my password to something I don't know, with no reset email.
Rinse, repeat.
Swear to god this is the last time you trick me, HN. I leave you to what you want to be.

That’s a tech-centric view. For most people a browser is defined by its features like tab handling, account syncing, preferences, extensions, etc. Nobody cares about the HTML engine, only developers. The fact that it’s possible to change the default browser is an important user-level feature.
It's true, but I think that's not the point. It's not because people don't care that it won't impact them. Many people don't care about Privacy, Ecology, etc... yet it will have catastrophic consequences down the line. Similarly here, yes it's true people don't care about the web engine, yet given Mozilla situation and Microsoft who switched to chromium, the web is seriously not in a good shape and it will have conse…
I've just tried out the spatial audio on my iPad with AirPods Pro, with one of the (many) free first episodes on Apple TV+... ...and it's stunning . Seriously. It's actually three separate features in one. First, all the audio is outside of you rather than stuck between your ears. Second, it's surround sound so that dialog actually comes from your iPad, while music comes from all around. And third, it tracks, so if y…
Do you know how it compares to Dolby Atmos for headphones, DTS Headphone:X, and Windows Sonic? Those solutions all work with conventional stereo headphones. Edit: after more reading I believe the main difference is the sensors in the Airpods Pro track head movement. For instance the virtual center (dialog speaker) would always appear to be coming from the display device, even if you move or tilt your head.
One of my favorite new features in iOS 14 is an accessibility setting that allows a double tap or triple tap on the back of the phone to trigger an action. You can set this up in Settings->Accessibility->Touch->Back Tap . In general, I love how accessibility features on iOS are so useful even for the average person who wouldn’t be considered or classified as disabled.
My wife has no disabilities (and is a very light/casual tech user) but uses heaps of the iOS accessibility features. I personally had never really looked at them until she started showing me how handy so many of them are day to day. Things like: The triple-tap-to-zoom feature has a “low light” filter that works on top of your brightness setting so you can use it to get a lower-than-lowest-brightness for reading in be…
I hope they start offering something similar to the Android call screening feature https://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-call-screen-feature-p... That has been such a huge quality of life upgrade.
Not quite , but they are finally making the Phone notification a standard notification, and not a giant screaming blocking full-screen YOU WILL PAY ATTENTION NOW modal view. https://9to5mac.com/2020/06/22/ios-14-incoming-call-ui/ I always hated that. I hate phone calls, period, and I certainly don’t want that phone call to take over my entire phone.
