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 of implemented most of the obvious great features, I guess.

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.

This is the first iOS release where I decided I wasn't going to update immediately. I'm really looking forward to some of the new features but I'm tired of dealing with Apple's day-one bugs.

And this is the first iOS release where I decided to get the beta on my primary device—I haven’t noticed any significant bugs or regressions. While it’s a perfectly reasonable decision to wait a bit, this has been the most stable beta I’ve used in years.

Do we have to fear that some of our apps might not work on iOS 14?

It’s always possible, but people (including me) have been running beta versions since June or July and have already reported any issues with third-party apps. Even my bank app worked the very first time on iOS 14, even though it didn’t on the iOS 13 betas.

It's actually not available on device as of this writing...

Im getting it here in Norway, but I had the previous betas installed. Not sure if that is a factor or not.

If you upgraded directly from Public Beta 8 without removing the configuration profile, the golden master was made available yesterday.

I'm pretty sure Android has had widgets and an app drawer from the very beginning.
