wonder if this fixes the stutter i've felt on the 12 pro when switching apps (only very occasionally)
 
Will this fix the OBNOXIOUS keyboard lag that nearly everyone is experiencing in messages ? Idk how that is not front page news as a major bug. Every iPhone owner I know has it on iOS 14.


Even on apples own forums there are almost 10k people that have hit the “I have this question too” button

For iOS 14.2.1 the iPhone 12 Pro Modem firmware version is 1.14.06. Let's hope it fixes the Verizon No Signal issue.

For the small number of notes, it is actually 29 builds ahead of 14.2....so hopefully lots more underlying improvements that they didn't mention in the release notes.
Installing now.

Think I’ve found a pretty annoying bug (to me it is)

If I pull down on the springboard to open up spotlight and I start typing the name of an app, without completing the name of the app and clicking the big blue “go” button, which changes from a search button once you’ve got the exact app name, you can’t tap on any of the results that spotlight finds????

edit: iPhone 12 pro.

14.2.1 noted that it fixed an issue that ’Made for iPhone hearing devices might have been having’. Thank you Apple. I was having interrupted or intermittent audio, or garbled audio that moved from one hearing device to the other and inconsistencies that were very distracting. The Pro Max seems slightly quicker as well 😊
