By the way face masks doesn’t help covid. Hardly no-one is using them in my country and we are doing very well with covid situation.

Also, face masks won't be needed in the new normal, right? And who knows if we will never have another novel/new coronavirus pandemic in the future after Covid19 gets a cure and vaccine, right? Oh well, take of that face mask for iPhone to recognize you, or better yet, input your long passcode because the few fastest bionic processor in the world will make unlocking your iphone via passcode everytime you're outside extremely fast and convenient.

You shouldn't be affected because its Apple I'm belittling and criticizing as greedy (like Google by the way), and certainly not you or iphone owners. But if you feel somehow hurt because you feel the criticism has semblance of what you feel (you feel you can't do many things iOS like you're an UNWILLING prisoner of its walled garden), then sorry for telling the truth. Otherwise, if you're a willing prisoner in the name of that shiny Apple logo, just ignore the comments as they don't apply to you. Afterall, you're happy with Apple's way of doing things, right? Or aren't you?

Look all these insecure and mad android boys, they know that there's again less reasons to buy Android phone. This new iOS14 will make many Android users to switch to iOS. Well done Apple.
I mean who cares if Android have had These features long time ago? Now Apple have them too with all the other good stuff already and that's a good thing for everyone else than bitter Android boys, who are "surprisingly" filling Apple article with their comments.

I think App... more"It's the era of punch holes, v-notches, pop up cameras and under display fingerprint scanners, which Apple should seriously copy as face ID is becoming incapacitated (not working with face masks and so you'll have to input passcode everytime you're outside)."
Pop up cameras can break, no water resistant, under display scanners are currently bad, if Apple would add so badly working feature, they would get sued by their users.
Face ID is best recognition option and it works just fine with Face Masks. Face Recognition is the future, not Any kind of methot which need physical touch. Think like banking apps or whatsapp etc app which are locked. When you use your face ID you just use those apps like they don't even have locking method. With fps you would need to push that scanner everytime when you open whatsapp app etc. Not good at all if you have experienced face ID effortless use.

What is Apple "standardizing" here?
Most of these features have already been a BARE STANDARD for Android phones literally 10 years ago, Apple is simply CATCHING UP.
They paved way to what modern day smartphones are going to be, but Android phones simply made a clear definition of how a smartphone should be for users.
If they were actually standardizing this thing, then they should've done it right from the beginning of the existence of such feature.
I bet in a distant future, Apple will also be "standardizing" key Android features like micro SD card slot, USB OTG support for mouse/keyboard, phone transformed to computer via USB output on external monitor, manual camera controls inside main camera app, stylus support, user developer settings, third party custom ROM support, and a few more.
They're "standardizing" things, right? Then they should be able to do basically all of those things.

Why people fight over phones and consoles I will never understand. I wonder if people fight over TVs too? But something I've noticed, when Apple copies a feature, it's claimed that they do it better, but if Android does it, it's just "they're coping Apple".

Anonymous, 23 Jun 2020Don’t like widgets too.We're not talking about your irrelevant opinion here, we're pointing out Apple's move to implementing similar features to Android ages ago.
If they were attempting to copy core Android features, then might as well go all out and get everything on board already.
Productivity shouldn't be limited to just large screens only.
