Apple iOS 14 7 Apple Pushes Unprecedented Upgrade For Millions Of iPhone

Apple has just released iOS 14.7 and its arrival is unprecedented: it breaks a record for the most point releases of any iOS version. While it’s true that there was a .7 release to iOS 13, iOS 13.7 only landed in September, after iOS 14 had already arrived—it was there with one purpose only: to add contact tracking for Covid, so not the same thing at all. Here’s what’s in this update, likely to be the very last iOS 14 release, and how to get it. This update is for compatible iPhones, with iPadOS 14.7 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 easy as pie, as 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 medium-sized update, less than 1GB for my iPhone 12 Pro Max, so it shouldn’t take long to install. What’s in the update? There are some neat extras here, along with important bug fixes. MagSafe Battery Pack support Yes, the gleaming new accessory that was announced last week, a wireless battery pack for the iPhone 12 Series, is supported in this new update. Control Timers on the HomePod in the Home app You can read full details about that here, but this is a useful upgrade which makes it easier to set up multiple named timers using the Home app as well just telling Siri what to do on the HomePod. The first beta had weird wording in the Home app but that’s been fixed since the second beta. Air Quality in the Weather app is coming to more countries. It currently shows air quality information in parts of the U. S., U. K., India and Germany, among others, but with iOS 14.7 it offers the same information for France, Italy, Spain, Canada and the Netherlands. Podcasts Library This has been updated with the ability to choose to see all shows or just the ones you follow. Dolby Atmos and Apple Music lossless If you’ve found playback of either has stopped unexpectedly, then this should be fixed now, Apple says. A Battery Service message that disappeared on some iPhone 11 handsets is restored now. And Braille displays showing invalid information while composing Mail messages should be back to normal, too. There’s a new modem firmware update, it seems, which should help if you’ve been experiencing connectivity issues. Read on for details of what was released in earlier updates and Apple’s complete changelog is at the end of this post. Previous iOS 14 updatesReleased 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.
