14.5 fixed an issue with random AM songs not downloading I've had since iOS 10, across multiple phones and computers. It was the same ~1000 songs or so that would never download on any device. No problem with this update.
Has anyone bad Battery performance on their iPhone 12 Pro? My Battery seems to be draining much faster than normally with the same usage. iOS 14.4.2 was great. I reinstalled iOS 14.5 RC again trough my Mac and still the same.
Yes. It‘s not working on my 10.5 iPad Pro (with Smart Keyboard). Someone on here reported it working on their older 12.9 iPad Pro (2nd Gen) so I thought it should be working with mine too…

Thanks. I am glad that I am not alone with this. I never had Battery Issues with my iPhones. Now I can just see that it is draining a lot more than before.

iPhone SE (2020), definitely the worst battery life of any iOS 14.5 beta. This is sad because the other betas had phenomenal battery life. Here’s hoping the official release changes that, sometimes I think it’s a crap shoot what you will get each update.
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.
