I’m not so sure about that. I would think there’d be at least one more beta before a larger point release like this. Look how many betas of 14.5 there were.

I think it all depends on (A) if the new high fidelity Apple Music tier comes out on May 18th as rumored and (B) if so, is14.6 is required to use that.

If the answers to both of those are “yes”, we’ll see 14.6 on Tuesday! If not, I’d say we’ll see it no later than the week of 5/24. The following week is Memorial Day week here in the US and, as importantly, the week before WWDC, when I suspect everyone will be taping their talks and getting ready for interactive engineer sessions.

By and large, this isn’t a huge release, so 3 betas might do it.

This, and also I doubt that the new iPads will come with iPadOS 14.5. Do we have confirmation from the guy who received his first one today about the version it came with?

Update: It comes with 14.5. So the 14.6 release this week becomes less likely, unless the Apple Music rumours are real (which I really hope for)!

Tuesday. Almost a lock.

Any chance they might drop it on tomorrow instead? Tuesday's supposed to be the day the iMac review embargo is lifted and you would think Apple would want the all the spotlight to be on the iMac on that day

I’d say a decent possibility for tomorrow as well.

Yeah I guess this last year has warped my perception of time. I forgot how close WWDC is!
