Yes, you can change the streaming quality in settings View attachment 1776210

I believe that's always been there, since it's for Cellular Streaming.

Downloading public now...

I am not seeing any ability to enable the new audio features in the iOS 14.6

 

[TimFL1]

Apple Music features don't seem to be in this yet. They probably require a server-side ping to enable for 14.6 devices.

Why would everyone assume the new Apple Music features would be released in the RC? 14.6 hasn’t been officially released and you don’t see that listed in the features/changes list.

Maybe to give the tires a kick before they (Apple) release it wholesale?

Wow!

12 ProMax - 5 minutes to download and 28 minutes to prepare.
Long one.

Spatial Audio seems to be working (?)
The icon in the control center is animated the same way as when I watch a movie in an app that supports it.

Honestly I couldn’t feel the difference with it on or off here.

iPhone SE 1st gen - 3 minutes to download and 2 seconds to prepare, therefore, installation took ages.
But it's up again en already feeling a huge improvement in speed. Where 14.5.1 would stutter all over the OS, 14.6 RC feels very smooth.

12 ProMax - 1st impressions.

Slower than beta 3. A syrupy slow-mo feel.
At first glance everything seems to work. Will dive into over the next few days.
Initial Geekbench scores:
Single: 1530
Multi: 4179
Much better than 1st run under beta's 1-3.

More to come.

Music app has some changes, but no lossless yet. App seems smoother tho.

Is there a possibility to sort the tracks within a playlist? This is the only thing that keeps me away switching from Spotify

Slight modem bump to 1.71.01 on my 12 Pro. So far so good.

You mean sorting alphabetically or chronologicaly? Manual sorting is already possible by clicking the 3 dots at the top and than "Edit".

Thanks for sharing that. I was not aware of the special graphics when its available.

e.g. sort by recently added

Guessing green tint hasn't been fully fixed.

I’ll test tomorrow once this build has settled, but, initial Benchmarks are looking good. On target to hold the betas scores which will put this faster than 14.5. 🤞🏼

 

[alisalem]

My multi-core Geekbench score is still 15% slower than it should be.

same on my 12. Good spot 👍🏼

your phone needs to settle after installing a new iOS. It won’t give a solid reading. Try tomorrow.

No unfortunately not. Maybe this will be a option in iOS 15.
