We are not getting a GM next week for iOS 14.2 nit sure where and how you getting this info. iOS 14.2 still needs more beta
Apple want's 14.2 out soon, as they have to get 14.3 into beta, so that it can come out in December with the features that they promised to be provided before the end of the year, that are not in 14.2, like Camera support for App Clips, Apple Fitness+, App Store Privacy information and there's others I probably forgot.....
Therefore, between that fact and that we are due more new iOS devices the week after next, along with the historical evidence that they tie in a new iOS release with devices (especially the precedent this year of 14.0 with Watch Series 6, then 14.1 with the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro), it just is clearly logical that all of the above combined indicates that 14.2 will come out to the public the week after next. That means we will get GM next week.
That all is more logical than your personal opinion that 14.2 needs more beta (I actually am finding 14.2 very decent for the devices I am testing, along with my colleagues devices they are testing).
It won’t all iPhone 12 pro were loaded with 14.1 and tested with 14.1. Only reason they later is due to backed manufacturing of parts
You do realise that when a new version of iOS comes out, the phones that are manufactured come with that installed? Seeing as Apple need 14.2 out soon, and the fact it started beta early, along with the fact we have more new devices coming the week after next, it just all logically points to
14.2 till have another month to go with testing we are only on mb4 we need atleast B7
Nah, What you want for 14.2 and what Apple has decided are not the same.
