Make Forbes your destination for all-things iOS. Stay ahead of the curve with Anthony Karcz when each version hits public beta. Read full details of what’s in the release from me the moment it lands. And then read Gordon Kelly’s analysis of whether you ought to install or wait. Another iOS update so soon? That’s because the last one, iOS 14.7, itself an unprecedented update, managed to break something and this update is along to fix it. Read on for full details of this update and how to get it, followed by previous releases. This update is for compatible iPhones, with iPadOS 14.7.1 which is simultaneously released for compatible iPads. Compatibility for the phones goes back to the iPhone 6s, including iPhone SE (both the first and current editions), plus the seventh-generation iPod touch. For iPads, if you have any iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 or more recent, iPad mini 4 or newer and iPad from fifth generation onwards then you’re good to go. Updating is straightforward, but you’ll know this by now. Go to the Settings app on the iPhone (or iPad) and choose General, then Software Update. Then it’s Download and finally, Install. This is a small update, 124MB on my iPhone 12 Pro Max, so it won’t take long to install. In my case, it downloaded in around 4 minutes and installation was all done another 15 minutes later. What’s in the update? Overwhelmingly, this is about fixing the thing that iOS 14.7 broke. If you have an Apple Watch, you’ll know that unlocking your iPhone means the Watch on your wrist automatically unlocks, too, so you don’t have to put your passcode in manually. This stopped for some users with iOS 14.7, specifically those who have iPhones using Touch ID rather than Face ID, and this update is aimed at fixing it. Apple says there are also important security updates included in this release and says that it is recommended for all users. Read on for details of what was released in earlier updates. Previous iOS 14 updatesThis update landed on July 19, 2021 and there was plenty in it. There are some neat extras here, along with important bug fixes. There was support for the new MagSafe battery pack and the capability to control timers on the HomePod from within the Home app. Apple Card: there was also the option of combining credit limits and sharing one co-owned account with an existing Apple Card user. Air Quality in the Weather app came to more countries, including France, Italy, Spain, Canada and the Netherlands. There were updates to the Podcasts Library and a fix for issues with Dolby Atmos and Apple Music lossless playback. Released on May 24, 2021, this update introduced Apple Card family sharing and Apple Music Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio, though both had the framework, the features did not go live straight away. Instead, they were introduced on Monday, June 7. Podcasts Subscription Support was also added in this update.
