14 DAY TRIAL // Apple has just shipped iOS 14 beta 8 to developers, as the company advances towards the final build of the operating system.
The public beta is expected to launch this week as well, so it shouldn’t take too long before everybody can give a try to this new release.
Needless to say, Apple has remained completely tight-lipped on the release date of iOS 14, but the company has already announced a September 15 even when the operating system could get to go-ahead.
What this means is that the golden master build should arrive any day now, especially as we approach the September 15 event.
Apple’s September 2020 event
While Apple hasn’t announced the agenda of the September 15 event, it’s likely that the company will officially announce iOS 14 alongside the Apple Watch Series 6 and new iPads.
Rumor has it that the new iPhones won’t get to see the daylight this month, as Apple still needs more time to finalize the device. People familiar with the matter said the new iPhone generation would actually be announced next month, as the company has only recently started the production of the device.
So the typical Apple September event would be mostly focused on non-iPhone announcements, which is obviously surprising but the whole thing makes sense given the current health issue that both Apple and its suppliers have struggled to deal with.
iOS 14 will bring plenty of improvements to the supported iPhones, including widgets on the home screen. Developers have worked around the clock since WWDC earlier this year to update their apps with support for widgets, so the most popular iOS apps will come with this feature out of the box.
iOS 14 will be available for iPhone 6s and newer and the new iPhone 12 will ship with this version pre-installed.
