iOS14: The spring of the beggar version of iPhone is here!

Due to the disappointment caused by iOS13 to Apple fans, everyone has been full of expectations for iOS14 since last year. Judging from the news that has been revealed in recent times, no matter how many bugs there will be at that time, at least the new features are still quite anticipated. The first is the previously revealed CarKey key function, which can transform the iPhone into a car key. Car owners can say that they very much hope that this feature will appear.

Secondly, the iCloud keychain password verification has been upgraded, which can greatly increase the security of logging into third-party websites. In addition, the iPhone 12 Pro version will be equipped with an optical radar scanner, which has also been exposed in the iOS14 code. Recently, the iOS14 code has revealed the latest news, giving users of the beggar version of the iPhone hope again.

What is the beggar version of iPhone? Generally refers to the version of iPhone with the lowest memory. This part of iPhone users are always cautious when downloading and installing APPs, for fear that there will not be enough memory. However, this situation will be greatly improved in iOS14, because according to the exposed code, iOS14 will allow some functions of APP to be experienced without downloading.

Nowadays, many APPs have many functions, but ordinary users only need to use some simple functions. This is one of the reasons why WeChat mini-programs are so popular. iOS14 will also follow up with similar functions, but there are some differences. First, you can experience some functions of a complete APP by scanning. For example, if someone sends a link to a video website to your iPhone, and you have not downloaded the video website, in iOS14 you can display the content of the link on your iPhone by scanning the code.

However, for the benefit of APP developers, Apple has also made a trade-off, requiring APP developers to provide which content can be read directly on the device and which content requires downloading the complete APP to be available. It also allows developers to let users experience lightweight functions while popping up a window to prompt "Download the full version of the application from the AppStore" or "Open the content in the installed program." However, I personally feel that such prompts should not be too frequent, otherwise the effect may be counterproductive.

Apple's intention in doing this is to return the choice to users and encourage developers to launch better-quality apps. If users find some functions useful, they will naturally download the complete app. In this way, inferior apps will be more easily eliminated.

In fact, we can also regard it as Apple trying to build its own mini-program ecosystem. As for which one has a better experience compared to the WeChat mini-program, we will leave it to everyone here to judge.

For those who plan to buy a new iPhone later, if they don’t need to use it intensively, they don’t need to spend more money to buy a high-memory version of the iPhone.
