I don't think we see 14.1 until after the conclusion of the iPhone event. Too much revealing code in there, I suspect. They'll release a pseudo-GM of that right then, so devs can build against it in time to have apps ready for the iPhone release 10 days later. In other words - kind of how it is with the X.0 versions most years.So, if iOS 14.2 is ready for new iPhones in, let’s say, two weeks (apple event), we might see iOS 14.1 next week? Or in two weeks time coinciding with the event and then iPhones shipped with iOS 14.2 preloaded?
In a way, think of 14.1 as the "real 14.0" and 14.0 as "14 point negative one".
That wouldn't be outside of the nature of a beta (especially a first beta).
Yeah but the betas aren't really meant for wide public use, and even the public betas have a bunch of disclaimers about bugs and stuff like that.
Here's to hoping 14.2 b2 drops on Tuesday. Not a fan of Thursday releases.
I really hope you're right. I installed it on my 11 before they pulled it and my touch screen is all messed up.
Except perhaps Apple’s schedule for beta releases!
I put this in the iOS 14.2 beta 1 thread, but not sure if that was the right place. Anyway, I just got an update for the Sleep Cycle app.
"This update includes stability improvement for iOS 14.2".
I didn't think app updates related to future iOS releases could be pushed out until the official release was nearby...

Same here. Typing is a nightmare. A lot of missed inputs. The phone may ignore 10-20% of the touches.
It depends. Sometimes you can fix a bug that appeared in a beta version without using the beta's API version. In this case it's fine to release it right away.
I saw a few random apps get updates to fix iOS 14 problems back when it was in beta. No big deal; didn't affect operation on iOS 13.

Makes sense! Definitely nice to see that whatever the issue was (I personally wasn't having any issues with this app, so I'm not sure what stability issues were reported), it's taken care of before 14.2 is in the wild for everyone. A "fix the problem while it's only a problem for a few" type of situation!
