Apple, as of Monday, started its annual developer conference WWDC20 in a virtual avatar with CEO Tim Cook addressing racism and a call to "being a force for change". The biggest announcement came in the form of major updates in iOS 14. The next major version of iOS is set to be released later this year and the biggest visual change is that the home screen will now have widgets.

In iOS 14, Apple users can pin widgets with updating information on the home screen, including calendar and maps mini-programmes. Users can drag a widget onto the iPhone home screen, where it will remain.

"At the end of the Home Screen pages is the App Library, a new space that automatically organises all of a user`s apps into one simple, easy-to-navigate view, and intelligently surfaces apps that may be helpful in the moment," said the company.
