As expected, the big star of the event was the iOS 14, the new operating system from Apple for iPhones and that was officially shown for the first time this Monday (22). And one of the novelties of this system is the fact that it does not leave any device out, and all models that work with the iOS 13 will be compatible with the iOS 14 This is the first time this has happened in Apple history, as with each new version of iOS some older models are always excluded from support for the new system.

It is also possible to see changes in the iOS 14 from the home screen, with a change in the way applications are organized on the phone. This will be possible with the use of App Library (Library of Apps in free translation), which will automatically organize all the applications in the iPhone in groups, such as new downloads or social networks, thus replacing the various pages of apps that are found on the current devices of Apple.

There is also a change in the way Widgets work, which can be added to app pages in a similar way to what already happens on devices Android. In addition to the change in widgets there is also a change in how the new iOS go to play videos, making them automatically be transmitted in format PiP (Picture in Picture) if you return to the home page, and allow the audio to continue playing if you drag the video off the screen.

THE iOS 14 also bring some changes to the virtual assistant Crab, and the most important of them is a simultaneous translation system, which allows the user to choose two languages to be translated by the assistant.

The new system also brings changes to the company's messaging application Apple, which is now called just Messages (instead of iMessage). In addition to being able to reply to a specific message or mentioning a specific person in a group conversation, it will also be possible to pin a specific conversation at the top, facilitating quick access to it at any time. A new selection of Memojis, which will now exist in several versions to match the age of the shipper.

Some changes were also presented for the application of Maps gives Apple, such as the addition of specific routes for those who are riding a bicycle, and routes designed for electric cars, which show all the stations with battery recharge of these automobiles available on the way, so that the driver does not suffer from unforeseen circumstances.

THE Apple also brings the CarKey, a function that allows you to use your iPhone like a vehicle key, allowing you to arm and disarm the alarm, open the doors and even start it. This key can be easily shared by the messaging app and it is possible to restrict which users can use or not that function that is available not only on iOS 14, but also be made available to the iOS 13.

THE iOS 14 also bring a new function to the App Store: call of App Clip, it will allow you to access apps for instant use like paying for a coffee or opening a garage directly by the store itself, without the need to download and install the app itself.

macOS Big Sur

Another great advertisement for the company was the macOS Big Sur, the next version of the company's operating system Apple for computers and laptops. The first change can be found in the design itself, which is even closer to what the company uses in the iOS.

It was also revealed that the new Map is the new Messages can be used in MacOS, with some specific functions for computers, such as the possibility of customizing your own Memojis.

Who is also receiving several improvements o Safari, the Internet browser for Apple. The company claims that the new version of the program is even faster, opening sites that are frequently visited up to 50% faster than the Google Chrome and that consumes less memory and battery of the device.

The new Safari it also allows for greater customization of your home page, allowing the user to modify the background image and the content that will be highlighted on it. The browser will also have a built-in translation system, which will be able to automatically identify and translate the contents of the browsed pages into any of the seven supported languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Chinese and Portuguese) with just one click.

The new macOS Big Sur it also brings some good news to the developer community. The most interesting of them is probably an improvement in the tool SwiftUI, which allows developers to create entire applications from a source code that can be shared across all platforms Apple, allowing the same app to work on the new macOS and in the new iOS, iPadOS, tvOS and watchOS without the need for adaptations.

In addition, developers will also be able to use the new SwiftUI to develop the widgets that are shared by iOS 14, iPadOS 14 and macOS Big Sur. The tool also allows the insertion of specific functions in case the application is used in the macOS, such as adding a User Preferences window.

The new macOS will also facilitate the work of developers who want to bring their apps from iPad for the operating system, automatically updating them to the computer version while offering several tools that allow you to fully customize the look and feel of these apps. It will also be possible to offer family sharing plans and subscriptions to any app, and a change in WebExtensions API makes it easier to make extensions created for other browsers also work in the Safari.

According to the company, the first computers with its own processor Apple they are due to be released later this year, but the full transition to the new chips is expected to take two years to occur.

The new iPadOS it also brings a new call notification, which will not overlap the app you are using and allows you to decide whether to answer the call or not without disturbing what you are doing (in a very similar way to what already happens on cell phones and tablets with Android).
