iOS 14 Release: 6 Things to Expect & 4 Not To

Expect a Ton of New Features

Thanks to rumors and leaked iOS 14 code, we know about some of the features that will likely arrive with the iOS 14 beta this summer and, if testing goes well, the final iOS 14 release in the fall.

Here are some of the potential features coming to iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch:

• The ability to use third-party music services like Spotify to stream on HomePod with Siri.
• Support for high-end, over-the-ear headphones with features currently found on Apple's AirPods.
• More sophisticated mouse cursor support for iPad. We expect this feature to launch in iPadOS 14. 
• A new PencilKit feature that will convert handwritten text via the Apple Pencil into typed text.
• A blood oxygen detection feature that should launch in conjunction with watchOS 7 for Apple Watch. 
• A new fitness app that will let users download guided workout videos.
• A new AR experience, codenamed Gobi.

Obviously this is a small, preliminary list, but you can expect rumors to outline iOS 14 in detail in the buildup to launch.
