When Apple releases iOS 14 later this year, you’re going to notice some pretty big changes to how you use your iPhone ($699 at Apple). For example, you’ll be able to place widgets on your homescreen, and there’s a new app drawer and new privacy controls.
Apple is also introducing a new way for you to interact with apps called App Clips. They’re similar to Android’s Instant apps, which are small app “slices” that offer a subset of features you can normally only access after downloading the entire app and, in many cases, signing in.
You’ll be able to use App Clips to do things like quickly buy a cup of coffee, place a reservation at your favorite restaurant or set up your new robot vacuum cleaner, all without having to install a new app every time.
