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.
Didn’t like it, makes my tv look piss yellow.
 
Mine seems to be okay..
don't know the model number but its LG with OLED Panel .. may be try couple of times and see if the results are better than before...
Battery life is still nowhere near as good as 14.4, I’ve got 43% left 5h58m usage, normally have a extra hour or more usage by now. On WiFi all day, been running the RC build for a while now so it can’t still be indexing.

Something new to 14.5 - when an iPad is joined to an active class in the classroom app, there's a new icon at the top of the screen (resembling the classroom app icon but smaller). It used to show the airplay icon.
 
Well you don't really have to worry about taxes if you're rich. Jokes aside that are actually truth, I feel skittish updating, battery is doing great now. Temped for the security patches.

XS running iOS 13, what do you guys think. Any XS owners?

Updating my Iphone X from 14.4.2 to 14.5 in Finder on a MAC dropped my Battery Health from 92 to 88.
 
  • Wow

Updating my Iphone X from 14.4.2 to 14.5 in Finder on a MAC dropped my Battery Health from 92 to 88.
Unfortunately that is not uncommon. The phone is automatically set to re-evaluate the battery when updated. If you want, try the recalibrate option. May change the percent. An X at 88% is actually good though. I had an XS that I got on launch that was at 84% when traded.
 
The font has changed in some places with 14.5. (Notes in PocketCasts, Instagram mobile site, Gmail app.) It's thinner now. Why and how do I change it back??

The X was a replacement unit October 2019 so 1.5 years in.
 
wow iOS 14 animations are so much slower coming from iOS 13. The XS is not slow, no lag, but the animations feel like moving hands in water vs air. Rubbish.
 
Since yesterday , optimized battery charging has not kicked in . Anyone else ?
I've tried rebooting my phone but that didn't help.

Same here. I thought it was my change in sleep schedule, but it has reverted back after going to regular hrs again.
 
Did a DFU restore of my iPhone 12 Pro Max last night (to 14.5).
When I use Music Recognition in Control Center, tapping on the notification with the song it recognizes now opens shazam.com in Safari. Used to open the Shazam app.
Obviously, recognized songs are not saved in the app because of this.
Don’t recall seeing this issue on the RC, which I used from last week until last night.
Anyone else seeing this behavior?
Any workarounds/fixes?
 
Still can’t get it to install, not last night and not this evening. It always hangs at “preparing update.” I’ve tried deleting it in the iPhone storage and restarting and trying again and the same thing each time.
