We’ll probably never see the day when Apple lets us clutter our home screen with moon phases and stock tickers, but iOS 8 does include an Apple-style take on an Android feature we’ve always wanted: widgets. You’ll find them in the Notification Center’s Today view, where you normally check you appointments and the weather forecast. Now apps can offer bits of information available at a swipe. It’s a compromise, but we’ll take it. (MacLife)
