One thing I can say is even the things are the same. The way of implementation and user experience are totally different. Apple may not be the first mover, but when they release, it will be already perfect.

Looking at how Apple implements Face ID vs the ‘picture’ ID by competitors.

Yeah, no doubt Apple’s implementation will be more refined as they have full control over the hardware and software but we’ll have to wait and see, I guess. One thing for sure is now there will be less complaints on being unable to customise your home screen on iPhones, hahaha...

Haha. Seriously as a long time iphone users, we are getting used to use what we are given. If Apple does not give, also no one will really complain.

When now we are given all the ‘new’ things, they are bonuses instead. Haha.

Not sure if anyone has seen this.
A UI designer Jay Machalani made this iOS 8 concept back in 2014.

It took Apple 6 years to implement it.
Better late than never I guess.

This is so true. A price to pay when you’re too invested in the ecosystem

Nice! I remember thinking when watching the keynote why the homescreen looked like I’ve seen it somewhere before. 6 years is a very long time, hahaha...

Yes u are correct, after i revert back to normal ios 13.5, my password and keychain data all missing.

yeah. that's why better dun try the beta on ur main phone, try it on an unused spare phone is fine.

no split screen option like ipad, right? probably iOS15

what do you guys think, split screen worth having?

on my S9 looked forward to use now rarely using.

Split screen on phones is just a gimmick in my opinion. Not sure about the implementation of it in Android, but there is just not enough screen estate to have a good experience on phones.

Imagine you have two apps open (let's say side by side in landscape mode). Then when you need to type something, the keyboard will pop out taking up almost half the screen. You are left with about 25% screen for each app. It would already be cramped on the 6.5 inch iPhone 11 Pro Max, how about the 4.7 inch iPhone SE?

Picture-in-picture mode which is coming in iOS 14 is far more useful.

The tap on the back is cool

used it a couple of times then i noticed its not suitable for me. I imagine playing COD mobile and then accidentally tapped my back then some function came out then i'll be pissed about it.

but got to say quite a handy gesture to be honest.

ya, i have notice this back tap feature is something im excited on, but not sure about the usability, like accidentally trigger the tap back without my intention and battery consumption of this feature

Hahaha, yeah, accidentally triggering it is a problem

park here, after some reading, bugs are common for ios14 beta. gotta hold and see to install on my old SE.

Q&A with Craig Federighi

should my newly bought xs upgrade to ios14?

I would wait until public release later this year

if your Xs is secondary phone

Been almost 24 hours running iOS14 - I must say, the beta is very smooth and haven’t encountered any issue so far. I’m using it on my main phone btw.

Anyone who cant wait, feel free to install it. You can always rollback to iOS13 if you dont like it.
