Gonna speculate that we see the UK, Germany, Australia, Japan and Canada before the year is out!
Wasn’t there a report that Apple would be following a “tick tock” system of refinements then features every other year?
That could suggest iOS 14 is more about polishing what is there, rather than adding new features.
It could be that the first-party apps get updated (like Messages, Mail and so on) but the actual OS sees fewer new features and APIs. There hasn’t been a lot of rumours other than the 9to5Mac stuff.
Maybe the rumoured home screen widgets will be a UI change though. I also hope the iPadOS UI is refined even more to make it consistent when using a trackpad, for right clicks and menu styles. Little things like customising the lock screen buttons on the bottom would be nice too.
OK, one person’s opinion here, but this is why I don’t like having these speculation threads before the beta is out: the speculation threads were originally designed to deal with speculation regarding timing of beta and major releases. This thread is speculating about features. In my mind, this confuses matters.

Speculation: I would not be surprised if Apple would announce renaming of iOS back to iPhone OS.
It would be much more consistent, now that they have Watch OS, tvOS and since last year iPadOS.
Redesigned home screen. Would love to peek into apps on the home screen using force touch.
such a shame too.. they never did anything with it after the 6S was announced. Had really great potential..They had years to perfect 3D Touch, but they let it slide away.
Oh the sweet agony of beta 1Beta 1 tomorrow arghhhhh
