It is clear by now that tech giant Apple doesn't usually unveil its next major software update for the iPhone until June. However, a deluge of recent leaks claims to provide a comprehensive look at what Apple may be planning.
The company's next major iPhone operating system version, expected to be called iOS 14, is shaping up to be a significant update that will bring changes to the iPhone's home screen, fresh augmented reality features, a new fitness app, and much more, according to recent reports from MacRumors and 9to5Mac.
The two sites claim to have viewed leaked code for the update, which revealed these new software features as well as a few hardware products that have been rumored for quite some time, like the successor to the low-cost iPhone SE and Tile-like tracking tags.
Apple is also reportedly planning to make some changes that would give users more choices when it comes to third-party apps and wallpapers, according to reports from Bloomberg and 9to5Mac.
Taken together, the rumored features suggest Apple may be planning to add features that users have been wanting for years — like mouse support and the option to set third-party apps as defaults – while also paving the way for forward-looking ambitions like augmented reality and health.
Another rumored feature is home screen layout. Although the look and feel of the iPhone's home screen may have changed over the years, the overall layout hasn't. That's expected to change in iOS 14, as 9to5Mac reports that the new software will bring the option to view apps in a list format.
iPhone owners will also reportedly be able to filter apps in this list based on certain conditions, such as apps that have unread notifications and apps that have been recently used.
