iOS 14 - All the Little Things

[Dave.Inwood1988]

Looks like we get 'privacy MAC addresses' by default now, on both iPhone and Watch

It's a bit buggy still, as you can see it needs toggling on and off before you actually get a non-Apple MAC.

I’ve used that but it caused so many issues with my router, drop outs etc. Also I monitor my devices on my Wi-fi and it creates so many records

 

[inkhorn]

Yup, only worth enabling for public wifi access points. There’s almost no point at all enabling for your home connection, the fact you see so many records created in your logs is kinda the point and at least shows it’s working!

I've read through all the posts here, so apologies if this has been posted already, but I couldn't see it. Could someone kindly post the video controls from within the browser when viewing vids, please? Is it like iOS 13 with the dark bar and so on? Or has anything been added? Kind regards.

One thing I noticed is it doesn't take 30s+ for my phone to shutdown anymore. Sometimes I can hold power right after I slide to power off, and it will start up again.

Is this new?

I don't recall having seen it before. Seems to work for any app (at least all that I tried) that support multi-window too.

Afaik this got introduced with iPadOS 13.

Yep, right you are. Funny the things you overlook.

That’s why I always pose these as questions rather than out and out declarations of newness!

Goood suggestion - for example, currently, there is not category for mapping. navigation or transit apps, so there's no easy way to get to them from the App Library. So yes, there should be an option for custom user categories. Also, I'd prefer a toggle to view all apps either as a list or a grid.

I agree with the "placement" by Apple. I have several parking apps - unfortunately different locales use different or their own app - and they appear in different Library folders.
But there is a List View in the Library - just tap the search bar at the top where it says App Library and it brings up an alphabetical list of all the installed apps.

My question would be: Why would a navigation app not choose to list their app in a category associated with "navigation" or "travel"? The categories are set based on the developers choice when they submit the app to the App Store. Why is that not sufficient? If you don't like the app developer's choice, put it on your home screen wherever you choose.

It's not an "either/or", it's a "both/and".

The Siri-suggestions widget has transparent text. This makes it easier to see which apps are part of the widget and which are added manually. I'm not sure if this is by design or a bug.

The issue is consistency (or lack thereof). The Siri Suggestion widget has no title, and has a transparent background. Why are the other widgets different? Do I really need to be told that the weather widget is "weather"? or the calendar widget "calendar"?

My suggestion (submitted to Apple) is the make the backgrounds and the titles configuration options in settings - either or both on or off.

Is this new 🤔? Preparing photo

I believe it's only in the US at the moment where the data is now being drawn from what was Dark Sky.

UK is still using the Weather Channel.

Nope still says Weather Channel at the bottom of the screen as the source of the information (We live in NJ).
But I always thought the percentage numbers were for the percent chance of precipitation NOT the intensity. That's how the Weather Channel on their website uses those numbers. But it is nice to see the percentages in the 10 Day listing also.

I think the things I’ve circled are new

I saw those yesterday (New Jersey) when the tropical storm was going through the area. And I thought I saw the chart of rain intensity also, but don't see it now even though we are expecting rain here in the next few hours.

The rain has to be within an hour, I think

Yep. See it now. Thanks

Maybe there has to be a minimum amount of apps using the same category before it puts it in there, and if there isn’t, it uses the secondary category.

Don't know about that... I have 2 apps in "TestFlight" and 1 app (Feedback) in "Other". Other App Library categories have multiple apps.

When does it show up?

When does it show up?

When you take a photo using 2x zoom

Skeuomorphic page turning is back in Books in iOS 14...or was it present in iOS 13 as well?

I noticed that the Add to Home Screen option is missing from the Safari share sheet... didn't see an option to add it back. Not sure when it happened, but this is a screenshot for iOS 13.5.1.

Good spot. Maybe this has been removed given new apps now go to the App Library.

I don't know if anyone uses this but it's a vestige from when iPhones didn't have an App Store and web apps were being pushed.

I use it a lot... always saving online forms/surveys/info sheets, etc on my home screen as Safari links... if it truly is gone, I am really going to miss it.
