Novel Coronavirus has force stopped many important events to date. The next one’s in the line is Apple’s WWDC, where the Cupertino firm is supposed to launch the newly updated iOS, version 14. This is prominent, as the update is rumored to have few wonderful developments as noted by 9to5Mac and MacRumors. This includes the extension of pencil support, new fitness app and more.

Expected features in upcoming iOS 14

1.) iMessage

Apple understood that design isn’t always the factor, but features too draw people close. In order to compete, features like tagging (@contact), unending messages, a status update function, marking conversations as unread, etc are touted to be introduced.

2.) Fitness app

This could be a standalone app rather than replacing the current Activity app. This addition is codenamed as Seymour for now and maybe launched as Apple Fit in iOS 14, tvOS 14 and watchOS 7. Rather than simply tracking the activity, it may include fitness workouts and diet videos to help people maintain their health.

3.) AirTag

It could be a new product from Apple in its ecosystem and is used for tracking things around. AirTag is a physical tracking tool that’s attached or laid in any objects or kids, in order to track their movements. This could be helpful as the potential missing things can now be tracked from your iPhone.

4.) Extended Pencil Support

The new Pencil Kit feature in Apple will convert handwritten texts into standardized texts before sending a message. Though this is available now, it’s now extended to third-party apps too. This will be available for all those apps which have a text space to be written. And whenever there’s a pencil being used to write, a text box will pop up letting you write by hand and covert that automatically before sending it to others.

Other rumors include the introduction of Blood oxygen monitoring in Apple watch, improved mouse support in iPad, and even over-the-ear headphones. After all, all these are rumors until officially launched. We expect the WWDC conference, where all these developments are announced, could be canceled if coronavirus lives up till then.
