MacĪpple saved the most significant design changes this year for Mac with macOS Big Sur. The change is noticeable when running a shortcut from the Shortcuts app, Siri Suggestions, the share sheet, Accessibility features, or the new Shortcuts widget on the Home Screen. Siri Shortcuts also take up less space in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14. Regardless, Siri gets out of the way whenever you launch apps, place calls, or get directions. After saying, “Hey Siri,” you’ll find the voice assistant at the bottom middle of the screen on the iPhone, and in the bottom-right corner on the iPad. With the compact UI, you can now view information onscreen while also launching a new task. Siri has also been downsized on iPhone and iPad.
Third-party developers (like Microsoft’s Skype) now have a developer API to support compact incoming calls. You can also remove the banner (while still talking on the phone) by swiping up or swiping down to access extended phone features. The change also extends to FaceTime calls, swipe up to dismiss the banner, or swipe down to access the advanced FaceTime features. Because of this, you won’t lose track of what you were doing before the call came through. The next time you receive a phone call on your iPhone or iPad, you’ll notice the banner no longer takes over the entire screen. The result is a more refined look that better maximizes the screen. Most of these UI changes focus on shrinking borders and pop-ups and giving the space to other processes.
The operating system updates in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 share many of the same design changes across both platforms.
