14.4.2 WOW! Good for you
Agree : please let us know if we are jumping on the right wagon or down a bridge
If I have to be honest, 14.4.2 is very good. I suspected that, with all the new features coming with 14.5, they could break something... So I stayed there on ALL my devices (2 iPads on home, 1 iPhone).
However, for some strange force, I
Hi, I just updated my iPhone from iOS 14.7.1 to 14.8 and as soon as it reboot, I've received the message: no service. Now I'm trying to fix it with iTunes, anyone had this issue?
My wife and I both updated our iPhone SE (2020)s and iPads (mine a 2017 9.7, hers a brand new Pro), and I updated my Watch. All seems well so far.
Same here... charging over cable it has been fine for a while now. Charging overnight is controlled evenly right up to the time I have to get up. I've irregular working hours and yet charging seems to follow my sleeping pattern closely.
Haven't had that on 14.7.x and before. Drops on cellular and calls is usually a problem of the network, not the phone. In my region T-Mobile has a patent on dropping connections. Even my Nokia dropped calls often with full signal on their network - on time every 60 seconds.
Same here - no issues with Air 2, 2021 12.9 Pro, 12 Pro Max and S6 watch.
I’ve faced the same issue like you describe so I ended up reset the network and now still under observation.
Also haven't seen problems after upgrade (iPhone 11 Pro + iPhone 12, both on German Telekom). Didn't have problems with 14.7.1 either, though.

I reverted to 14.7.1 after seeing that incoming emails show up, but when entering the app there is nothing... Force close mail app, then reopen and there it is. I tried resetting all accounts and such, but nothing worked.
Plus battery consumption on my XS didn’t seem right to me, though it wasn’t time enough to judge.
It is quite fluid besides this mentioned things.

Hi, I took a leap of faith and jumped from 14.4.2 to 14.8, on my iPhone 12 pro. So far so good, no changes in battery life or standby drain. I've also noticed that after the update, my network settings switched from 4G-4G to 4G-5G, so I changed it back to what it was. Make sure that you double check this setting, since it may mess up with your battery life.
Cheers

It's working fine for me. Might have even gotten better wrt updating the icon status when email is read from elsewhere.
That was one of my main beefs with iOS' Mail app: The icon would display N number of unread emails and take forever-in-a-day to change that to reflect they'd been read--or even deleted or re-filed. That seems to be better now.
I haven't been able to judge that yet. My first full day with 14.8 involved a lot (for me) of phone time. I might have a better idea after today.
Haven't used either my phone or tablet enough, so far, to tell.
Give it a few days, then see if the drain is still ongoing. It is not uncommon for the battery to look worse right after an update. Either because the user is using the phone more than usual, or that the indexing is running. If it is still bad after 2-3 days, then you will know.
Now should be okay. FYI, my country cellular is not stable, especially in my area.
Have they fixed the bug with music app. When I shuffle play all my songs. I don’t have Apple Music. It would sometimes stop playing music and pause or it would start playing the songs from the beginning of the shuffle..
Anyone makes a clean install ? I am planning to stay on 14.8 a period of time and new i am on 14.7. Did you guys think for better Performance and battery to make a clean install ?
As far as I know, no, you can’t restore a backup on a previous iOS version. But you can export manually your photos and other data and import them later.
Are you having issues with 14.8?
The phone seems easily getting warm (ie, listening music, reading book). It looked like the phone took more battery than before. I’m not sure this is accurate though I didn’t measure it. But looking at idle time during night sleep the battery is still look good (flat line).
