A brilliant new iOS 14 concept shows how useful it would be to have multiple docks at the bottom of the iPhone’s Home screen.

The multiple-dock UI, published by designer Alessandro Chiarlitti over the weekend, would basically let you toggle between different widgets at the bottom of the screen. That would give you quick access to music controls and other apps without opening them.

iOS 14 brings big changes

Apple reportedly remains on track to unveil iOS 14 in just over two months. We’re hoping there’s still time to make this latest multiple-dock concept a reality.

The update reportedly will bring some of the biggest changes to the iPhone’s Home screen in years. According to the latest rumors, Apple plans to add a new Home screen layout that lets users arrange app icons in a list. The customizable view supposedly will incorporate Siri Suggestions to make frequently used apps easier to access.

Other big changes in iOS 14 could include new home screen widgets and new wallpaper settings. iOS 14 might also add new Siri voices, a fitness app, handwriting recognition for Apple Pencil and more. Full details will be divulged by Apple at the company’s Worldwide Developers Conference scheduled in June.
