iOS is the world’s most advanced mobile operating system. With iOS 14, you can use App Clips to give users a quick way to engage with a part of your app at the right moment. Widgets let you offer even more value to your users, and the widget gallery makes it easy for them to find what they need. ARKit 4 delivers exciting features for all devices with the A12 Bionic chip and beyond, while RealityKit lets you create even more realistic augmented reality experiences.
App Clips
With App Clips, you can make experiences from your apps discoverable at the moment a user needs them. App Clips are light and fast, and are focused on quickly accomplishing a task — whether it’s renting a scooter, ordering takeout from a restaurant, or setting up a new appliance. They can be discovered and opened from a number of places, including Safari, Maps, and Messages, as well as in the real world through QR codes, NFC tags and the new Apple-designed app clip codes.
Mac OS 9 is the ninth and last major release of Apple's classic Mac OS operating system.Introduced on October 23, 1999, it was promoted by Apple as 'The Best Internet Operating System Ever', highlighting Sherlock 2's Internet search capabilities, integration with Apple's free online services known as iTools and improved Open Transport networking. Apple is releasing the first developer beta of iOS 14.5 today following last week’s release of iOS 14.4 to the public. IOS 14.5 is expected to include the groundwork for Apple’s new App.
Widgets
Easily build widgets using the WidgetKit framework and the new widget API for SwiftUI. Widgets now come in multiple sizes, and users can visit the new widget gallery to search, preview sizes, and place them anywhere on the Home screen to access important details at a glance.
Augmented Reality
ARKit 4 delivers new features for all devices with the A12 Bionic chip and beyond, while RealityKit enables a new level of animation and realism for AR experiences.
Machine Learning
Development is even easier and more extensive with new tools in Core ML for model deployment, new models and training capabilities in Create ML, as well as additional APIs for Vision and Natural Language.
Siri
With a new compact UI, visual lists that display images and more details, and the ability for event suggestions to extract and surface content from emails and websites, Siri makes content even more readily available.
User privacy
On iOS 14, apps are required to ask users for permission to track them across apps and websites owned by other companies. The App Store helps users better understand apps’ privacy practices, and you’ll need to enter your privacy practice details into App Store Connect for display on your product page.
iPadOS 14
Enhancements to the user interface, PencilKit, and more empower you to create amazing experiences for your users.

Apple is releasing the first developer beta of iOS 14.5 today following last week’s release of iOS 14.4 to the public. iOS 14.5 is expected to include the groundwork for Apple’s new App Tracking Transparency privacy feature, among other changes.
For those unfamiliar, App Tracking Transparency is a new feature that requires apps to request permission from users before tracking them across other apps and websites. Under Settings, users will also be able to see which apps have requested permission to track so they can make changes as they see fit.
For instance, once this requirement goes into effect, you’ll see a popup when you open the Facebook app saying that Facebook would like to track you across other apps and websites. There will be two options from which to choose: “Ask App not to Track” or “Allow.”
