Speaking to people who had made an aesthetic home screen, many had spent over three hours working on them. "I knew my followers would love this and I shared it right away knowing that it would blow up." "I set up my phone within minutes of realizing we had the capability to customize," said Mogus, who runs a social media marketing agency. They are dazzlingly varied, but largely all fall under the banner "aesthetic af" - as described by 23-year-old Katarina Mogus, whose iOS 14 tutorial video had been viewed 27 million times at the time of writing. But if you're feeling creative and desire more control over the design of your software interface, you can transform it into a brand new device - at least on the surface.Ĭreative iPhone owners from across the internet have been posting screenshots of their home screens, which have been going viral on TikTok, Instagram and Twitter. Sure, if you prefer you can opt to keep your iPhone largely as it was before. Meanwhile, Android, particularly in the early days, was overlaid by busy and confusing "skins" that meant little consistency between phone models, but also allowed users much more power to customize their phone's interface and take control of their user experience.īut with iOS 14, the lines are beginning to blur. The result was that anyone buying an iPhone, assuming they didn't try to jailbreak it, could be guaranteed an almost identical user experience to that of the next iPhone user. And the iPhone 12 hasn't even been unveiled yet.įor the longest time, Apple has kept a firm handle on how much users could customize its mobile software.
The results are so radically different from anything Apple has allowed before that it feels as though the iPhone has just undergone its biggest design overhaul we've seen in years. But gradually, and especially over the weekend, iPhone users began to come to grips with Apple's Shortcuts tool and newly allowed widgets to personalize their home screens. When iOS 14 was released to the public last week, many people at first couldn't see much that was new with the latest version of Apple's software. The biggest flex on the internet right now is showing off screenshots of a carefully curated aesthetic iOS 14 home screen.
