Everything New in iOS 14 Beta 3: New Music Icon, Clock Widget and More

In my opinion, or better said for my way of using it, the clock widget is senseless. Why not give an option to see and turn on/off alarms?
For me it's useful, as I have family and employees in 3 timezones (at least now I can't travel, so myself crossing the timezones is not an issue for now). I've been using World Clock Pro, and probably still will after the dev brings it up to iOS14.
On AW I use the complications to show the other timezones, but the truth is nowadays I don't actually wear it for anything other than working out, so an iPhone widget is more than welcome.
As for alarms, I have one - 6:30 AM, daily
And only on the Apple watch, as my phone (or any other screen other than AW / Kindle) actually never makes it into the bedroom.But I think they might add the alarms and countdowns widgets later.

all you need to do is simply... never turn them on
Sadly, it won't happen. This is not Steve Jobs Apple. This is Tim Cook's Apple. They killed the library in the TV app just to sell Apple TV+. I won't be surprised if one fine day they kill the library in the Music App too just to sell Apple Music. Oh yes, they are quite well on the way. Try viewing lyrics of locally stored songs in offline mode.
I just checked the TV App on my iPhone (iOS 14), and my Mac, and they both have tabs for the Library. I highly doubt that's going away anytime soon, if ever as Apple TV+ is Apple originals, while they still obviously want people to buy other tv shows and movies through them
Not having 3D Touch reminds me how much I use it.
Long tapping for Haptic Touch isn’t the worst alternative, it’s just nowhere near as fast, and is really difficult to select text with when using the keyboard.
To the future, I guess.

Good call, thank you. Seems simple but for some reason I didn't even think to restart.
Yes, I think if they want a change an icon, they should change this f***ing UGLY mail icon.😡
Ahh...no. Don’t need a screenshot to see the relative sizes of the new segments as opposed to the previous segment breakdowns.
It did not relegate the previous "other" to the system.
This "other" segment has been very inconsistent for many testers. b2 reduced it quite a bit. b3 has made it inconsequential for me.
YMMV.
If the block screen is more than five minutes, you'll see the clock loose time. I removed the widget, waiting for them to fix it
Agree I also liked the dials much better. Was easier since I mostly just changed the hour, and it was like a game to try to spin the wheel and get the correct new number on the first try,
To anyone who says “Show Apple Music” toggle is gone, you are an Apple Music subscriber so Apple removes that option. If you are not, the option will remain available. It doesn’t make sense for Apple to let user remove 60% of Apple Music feature while being a subscriber.
I’m on b3 and the weather widget is there.

Here it is:
That's amusing. All of Apple's post-iOS 6 icons are hideous, but I've always hated that music icon the least. Nice to see its return.

I'm having the same issue. Clock widget is very intermittent

Clock widget is behaving very bizarre. Mine doesn't know how to read the time either 🤪
