Apple held its Worldwide Developer Conference, and like each year this year Apple showcased iOS 14. Since ages there has been a lot of difference between Android and iOS, but now that gap has been narrowed as this will be the most substantial iOS updates in quite a while. Lot of missing features in iOS are now available such as widgets and an app drawer.

Yes, these things have been with Android since ages. Apple, brought it to iOS to lessen the gap between two OS and thereby attracting more Android users to iOS.

Here are the top features iOS 14 copied from Android.

This is the biggest change to iOS’s home screen. Previously you could only place widgets in the leftmost page, but now you can place them anywhere in the home screen. Widgets help us to get the right amount of information that we like. 

Another addition is the "Smart Stack" widget that automatically displays different app widgets based on the time of the day after learning your daily routine.

Finally, no more cluttering of the apps or navigating to different sections of the home screen as you will have App drawer with iOS 14, although Apple calls it the "App Library. Just move to the rightmost side of the home screen and App Library will open. It smartly groups installed apps in folders. Additionally, you can always search for the app you like to use.

One another addition is that now you can hide entire home screen if you do not want to use un necessary preinstalled apps. 

If you have an Android phone, then you are pretty familiar with this feature picture-in-picture. Since Android 8.0 Oreo, users can play video in small dialog in their home-screen or any app they are using.

 iOS 14 finally adds support for this feature to the iPhone, allowing you to view your video on your home screen or over another app and multitask with ease. Additionally, you can hide the video player to just listen to the audio while hiding the video.

Finally, Apple has listened to the complaints of their users of not able to set third-party apps as default one. This is finally changing in iOS 14, but this feature has limited functionality as users now set their default email and browser apps only. Hope  the list will be expanded with further software updates.

Google Translate was one of the excellent and most useful app. Translate is a the excellent tool for communicating with people that don't speak the same language as you.

iOS 14 will introduce its own Translate app, which functions basically the same way. You choose the language you want to speak, which language you want it to be translated to, and then start talking. When you're done, Translate reads out your message and also shows the translated text on your screen.

Although both work in similar way, but Apple Translate has just 11 supported languages, whereas Google Translate works with over 100.

Three years ago Google launched Android Instant Apps. In this user can run lightweight apps and games without having to install them. Just tap a button, and you have instant access to a lightweight version of a fully-fledged application. 

Apple is taking the piece of the cake from Google with App Clips where you can run a lightweight version of an iOS app without having to install it. Scan a QR code, hold your iPhone to an NFC tag, or tap a web link, and just like that you're running an App Clip.

Previously, Siri took over the entire home screen when summoned by the user. But now Siri pops up with a small indicator on the bottom of your screen that keeps you on the current app or website you were previously interacting with. 

This is the similar approach to what it looks like when you trigger the Google Assistant on an Android phone.

Android has been aggressively revamping app permissions over the last couple of years. This made OS more user-friendly and privacy-conscious than ever before. Apple prides itself in keeping users Privacy and now they have moved one step further by adding app permissions to the App Store.

On viewing the app on App Store in iOS 14, you'll finally see which permissions that app asks for. This is much more helpful to consider downloading the app or not

Although Apple brought these features to the iOS little late but this will decrease the gap between two software's and will make users switch between both OS with ease.

2020 is not the bad year after all because a new space history has been created by Elon Musk’s space company SpaceX.

For the first time in history the American astronauts have been sent to International Space Station by a private company. SpaceX has a very cool technology of returning the first stage back to earth. However during live stream, each time when stage-1 booster returns back to drone ship, connection gets lost and we miss the awesome landing of falcon booster.

But the big question arises that why does this happen?

The drone-ship is an automated ship that cruises in water to correct location where the booster is going to land. For the communication purpose the ship has a large setup of antennas which communicates and broadcast the video stream to a satellite in a “Directional” signal. The directional signal is necessary to keep a connection with a satellite. However, when the booster is about to land, it puts immense pressure in the air and on the ship which causes ship to shake tremendously. 

This leads to the loss of communication with the satellite and every one misses the nerve jacking landing of the booster. However, once the booster lands and ship becomes stable, the connectivity resumes and we can again see the live feed.

How can SpaceX overcome this issue.

The easiest way is to send a secondary ship along with drone ship. The drone-ship will communicate with the secondary ship using omni-directional signals and the secondary ship will keep in touch with satellite using directional signals. This way the communication will not be lost even during landing of the booster.

This issue has a easy fix but spaceX does not want to invest their money just to show the live stream because the whole landing is recorded in cameras and they upload it on their website after couple of days.

So what does you think about the falcon 9 landing, let us know in the comments.

OnePlus recently launched OnePlus 8 pro and it had a unique camera setup, consisting of a Color Filter camera. Every one speculated that this camera would be of no use in real world and is just increasing the cost of the phone. However, recently it was accidentally discovered that it can see through certain materials like an X-ray.

Upon digging further it was discovered that the camera uses infrared sensors to see through a small subset of black materials. So if you have a OnePlus 8 Pro then open the camera app, swipe over to the “Photochrom” color filter, and point it some black objects.

Well we tried this multiple times but it doesn't see through objects every time, it is just hit or miss. When the lighting conditions are right and you point the camera at a thin plastic such as TV remote then only you can see through the objects. Additionally you can see through the black clothes of the person.

Back in 1998, similar incident happened with Sony when it was found that their popular Handycam camcorders Night Vision mode could be easily modified to reveal a considerable amount of detail under people’s clothing through the addition of a simple external filter. After that issue, Sony had to recall their all of the cameras.

The feature we refereed above uses Infrared light that sits right below visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum. Human eyes cannot see this light but can fell the heat energy from them. About half of the energy that arrives on the Earth from the Sun arrives as infrared. Since we cannot see the infrared light, it has various purposes such as in Apple Face Id that uses flashes of infrared light to capture the face data.

OnePlus has admitted that this feature is casing privacy concerns in people, hence this camera would be disabled in future update until they find the work around of the feature.

While we all are stuck at home due to lockdown, at some point we crave for eating somehting except for the regular meals of day. Since, we don't have access to any of the delicious snacks available at restaurants, people have started cooking a variety of dishes at home for satisfying their taste.

'Pani Puri', 'Pav Bhaji', 'Jalebi', 'Rasgulla' etc are some of the Indian dishes which most have us have already cooked at home. And now, people are worried that they might put on some weight during lockdown because of lack of physical activities and eating different snack.
