I’m thinking at the event next week they will say ios 14.5 is out in few days maybe the Thursday so that gives us time for the RC

Looks like a reference to the Apple Pencil. I wonder if we'll finally see airtags.. They've somewhat become the hardware version of iOS 14.5 lol

Speaking of, I think we'll get an RC today.
Good catch! I didn’t even think of Apple Pencil, my first thought was the colors of the new Apple cases we’re supposedly getting soon for spring.

Hey, you maybe onto something! It's possible that the invite 'art' represents the Apple Pencil AND the colors represent the upcoming case colors or they could also be the body colors for the upcoming iPads.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, there won’t be an RC until after the event next week. It’s likely the RC is what is being loaded onto new iPads in the factory right now so releasing the same RC to developers and the public leaves it open to spelunking thus ruining the event.
 
Actually it’s very poor from Apple because ability to unlock your phone while wearing a mask is a year too late

If we assume the new updates will be released next Tuesday, there must be RC version before that. My thinking is that a new version of Xcode 12.5 will be needed for developers to release app updates built using the new SDKs. I might be wrong tho.
