It’s the usual Apple cluster **** trying to update HomePods. All of mine (three minis one normal) showed us up-to-date even though not one of them was, then they did an update. All apart from the full fat HomePod which is just stuck on downloading after many restarts.
So , how do you know if they are really up to date or not ?
 
Is anyone having Air Pods Pro connecting issues? I just downloaded both ios14.5, watch 7.4, and 11.3 for MacBook Air M1 and I can't hear anything on my air pods. I tried to disconnect, reconnect, unpaid, repair, nothing. No sound and they at 100% and the case at 100%.
 
Thank you ! It says 14.4 so I guess they are not updated like it says on the Home app on iPhone , iPad and Mac.
What can I do ?

My HomePod will just not update. If I try to manually it errors, if on automatic it just doesn’t. The home app shows it is unresponsive even though it isn’t. But I have noticed now that HomeKit is really slow with my hue lights! There is no doubt in my experience that when the home hub is a HomePod mini, HomeKit is very much slower and unresponsive… but that’s another story.
 
iOS updated fine for me, however iPadOS took a lot longer and I also had to sign in to most of my apps again on iPad. Did anyone else have to sign in to most iPad apps again?

Hue app needed a bit of tweaking but HomePodsstill not updated even if stated as so in the Home app.. Oh well it's on automatic update so I guess I'll just wait and see and stop pulling my hair out tonight ;-))

Youtube still lagging on 60fps videos, still have that purple thing in the menus on low brightness, battery seems worse (i was on beta 4) and the photos are watercolored compared to that Halide app… iOS was the main reason I was an Apple fan.. great phone iphone 12pm, but i m getting Android vibes with ios since I got it… my old 7 plus was still rocking hard even after 3 years with software up to date.. till this crap ios 14..
 
My Podcast app is either not refreshing or very delayed in pulling in new shows...anyone else seeing this?

As an aside, all of my subscriptions were wiped out which was a pain.
 
Has anyone noticed issues with handoff/universal clip board? When I updated my iPad to iOS 14.5 it seems to have broken it. May be my network connection (in a hotel).
 
wearing a mask and trying to unlock my phone with my watch doesn't work. The very first time, it popped up on my watch and I hit 'lock phone' - now it never pops up. Have tried resetting the setting, restarting both phone and watch...while wearing a mask, phone always says "unlock with passcode or apple watch" but never unlocks via watch

edit: 2nd phone restart seems to have fixed it for now
 
Any luck with the long standing bugs? What concerns me were the following:

possible battery drain
Camera defaulting more to digital zoom
Any weird Bluetooth issues
Any other weirdness affecting later models.

thanks
 
Just barely installed and 14.5 feels loads faster and smoother on my ol’ 6S.
 
Notifications arent going through with apple watch on LTE and bluetooth on. Can't believe I left android for this sh..t. It worked good for 14 months, and 5 days ago notifications stopped comming from Viber, Instagram on LTE with AW!

On iPhone XR no battery drain. Everything else i do works like it has done before.

The only “bug” is still that when you go back to the previous website in safari, it goes straight to the top and doesn’t remember the position.
 
Has anyone installed 14.5 on an iPhone X? Just curious to see if it helps with app loading speed. I’ve noticed my X is starting to slow down just a tad, especially loading App Store and launching apps.
Installed and using from few hours..nothing special to really comment. Youtube still stutters when scrolling up and down, other app seems to be working fine and just like before.
 
Is anyone else unable to get the Color Calibration to work? My phone gets stuck on preparing no matter how close I get to the AppleTv. 4K Apple TV
You need to almost touch the phone and tv screen for it to work; noticeable changes to color tones, bit more warmer and natural than previous setting. kinda like it.
 
14.5 is running a lot faster and smoother on my iPhone and iPad, only letdown is green tint is still happening on my 12 pro max.
