iOS 14 to hit all iPhones that are currently running iOS 13


We won’t know for sure until Apple’s WWDC hits the Web later this month (this year it’s online-only), but there’s mounting evidence that the upcoming iOS 14 will support every device currently running iOS 13.

The Verifier came to this conclusion based on clues found in early development code from iOS 14 as well as an unnamed trusted source. Here’s the list of all devices headed for the next iOS version:

It’s impressive that the iPhone 6s from late 2015 is still getting major updates. Same goes for the slightly younger iPhone SE, which recently got a long-awaited successor. This is the end of the road for both phones, however, they won’t see iOS 15.

The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are in better shape and can expect to receive updates for the next two years, according to the source (so, iOS 16).

Keep in mind that WWDC (June 22) will bring the beta version of the new operating system, the stable update will likely come out alongside the iPhone 12.

So, what will be the new features in iOS 14? There’s talk of a list view option for the home screen (with Siri-powered smart suggestions) and possibly even home screen widgets. “Clips” is another feature, allowing apps to run without installation (similar to Android’s Instant apps), but also showing a partial UI from one app inside another (similar to Android’s Slices).

Google removes 300 Android apps that secretly hijacked phones for DDoS attacks

Around  300 apps have been withdrawn  from Google’s Play Store after they were found to be secretly hijacking Android devices to supply traffic for wide-scale distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, as noted by  Gizmodo . Google removed apps that offered services like ringtones and storage managers after security researchers uncovered the “WireX” botnet was behind the ploy. Malware was hidden inside the affected apps, and as long as the device remained switched on it was used in DDoS attacks. Researchers at cloud services provider Akamai discovered WireX after a hospitality company suffered from a DDoS attack involving hundreds of thousands of IP addresses. DDoS attacks work by overwhelming a target with large amounts of data from multiple IP addresses, and they’re effective at taking down websites and services that can’t cope with a data influx. Google said in a statement it’s currently in the process of removing the malicious apps from affected devices, an...

HTC Desire 20 Pro certified by Google Play, NCC

HTC’s glory days are well in the past, but the Taiwanese company is trying to stay relevant in the smartphone world. As spotted by a vigilant Twitter user, the Desire 20 Pro has been certified at NCC and Google Play Support. Previously the same phone appeared on Geekbench and in leaked schematics . The Google Play Support page mentions the same HTC 2Q9J1000 model number we saw earlier. Seeing how this is a Pro there is likely to be a vanilla version in the pipeline as well, but we haven't heard anything about it. HTC Desire 20 Pro certifications When the phones eventually arrive, they will be a follow-up of the Desire 19 lineup that brought us the Desire 19s and Desire 19+ . Both of them had unimpressive Helio chipsets (respectively P22 and P35) and the main camera was 13 MP f/1.9 with PDAF on both of them. Hopefully, this year’s Desire lineup will get in line with the current trends and introduce big batteries, fast charging, and better cameras if HTC w...
