One of the key speculations ahead of WWDC 2020 keynote is around the next version of macOS, which is said to be called “Big Sur”. The new iOS update, which was recently rumoured to debut as iPhoneOS, is rumoured to launch officially as iOS 14.
While Apple is ready to begin WWDC 2020 online event later today, the rumour mill has churned out the last minute rumours to suggest what all we would see during the virtual conference. One of the key speculations is around the next version of macOS, which is said to be called “Big Sur”. The new iOS update, which was recently rumoured to debut as iPhoneOS, is rumoured to launch officially as iOS 14. You can also expect some new developments pertaining specifically to watchOS and tvOS updates.
A tipster on Weibo claims that Apple won’t rename iOS to iPhoneOS. This suggests that the new iOS update would debut as iOS 14. Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman has also mentioned in a tweet that the new iOS update will be called iOS 14 and not the recently rumoured iPhoneOS.
The next-generation iOS version is said to include a redesigned interface that would bring widgets to the home screen and feature an upgraded app grid. The incoming call interface on the new iOS update will also no longer be forced to a full-screen view, as per the tipster. This indicates that users would finally get the option to set a banner alert style for incoming call alerts. The experience would be in line with how you handle incoming calls on an Android 10 phone when its screen is unlocked.
In addition to the new iOS additions, the tipster on Weibo mentions that Apple will bring a new iPadOS update with a redesigned Sidecar feature that was introduced last year to let users transform their iPad into a second display for their Mac computers.
