iOS 14 Operating System to Be Released on Wednesday

Updates to iPadOS 14, watchOS 7 and tvOS14 operating systems will also be released.

On Wednesday, September 16, Apple will release its new iOS14 operating system. It will be available for iPhone smartphones from the iPhone 6s model and later.

The most significant change in iOS 14 is the addition of widgets on the home screen, as well as a new app library that allows users to launch certain parts without installing them.

Also, Siri will no longer open a new screen, a new voice translator with 11 languages will appear, and in Messages, users will be able to highlight important contacts.

Among other changes are new options in messages, a translation app, updates to Apple Maps, and much more.

Along with iOS 14, updated versions of the operating systems for iPad, Apple Watch and Apple TV - iPadOS 14, watchOS 7 and tvOS14 will be released. Apple unveiled all of these updates back in June of this year.

In iPadOS 14, Apple improved the organization of space in core iPad apps, such as Gallery or the file manager. 

Also, iPad will now get Spotlight Search, which is familiar to Mac users. 

After the new operating system version is released, Apple Watch will be able to track sleep and recognize hand-washing moments. The watch will be able to time hand-washing so that the process continues for 20 seconds.

Apple did not name the release date for macOS Big Sur for laptops during the presentation.
