Leak in iOS 14 reveals wallpapers and widget customizations for your home screen

WWDC 2020 may only be online this year for obvious reasons, but we still expect Apple to release its iOS 14 update on time in June, with a full rollout coming in September. Some new leaks suggest that additional home screen customizations are in the works with the new software. Digging into 14to9Mac's first iOS 5 code revealed that Apple is at least experimenting with the idea of ​​home screen widgets - not just a side panel like in iPadOS, but entire widgets that can be repositioned according to your preferences. needs. Android phones have offered widgets for years, of course, and in recent software updates, Apple has shown a willingness to move away from the uniform lines and columns of icons on iPhones and iPads. 9to5Mac indicates that the functionality is still being tested and may be removed, so don't worry too much for now. Additional augmented reality features and a new app switcher are also available for iOS 14.

In addition to introducing new wallpaper templates for iOS 14, this time divided into separate categories for easy navigation, the images also reveal more options for how the wallpapers are applied. You can set wallpapers as dynamic, flat, or gradient, based on the screenshots. You'll also be able to darken wallpapers when your phone is in dark mode, which you can already do in iOS 13. Apple hasn't announced specific dates for WWDC 2020, or exactly how the online format will work, but the event typically takes place at early June. In addition to iOS 14 news, we should also be hearing about software updates for all other Apple products.
