iOS 14 Release Speculation

[khanmein]

Today will be the day

 

[Kylo83]

Yes please

More chance of iOS 15 beta 3 I think

 

[Stuipdboy1000]

Hoping to see something today whether it’s 14.7 (beta/GM/release), iOS 15 beta 3 or an update to HomePod to fix the recently documented issues.

 

[Broken Hope]

MagSafe battery pack requires 14.7 so definitely this week.

 

[halloele]

„iOS 14.7 will likely be available within the next 7 days. Expect an RC soon.“

 

[gtmead09]

Battery pack arrives by July 20th, that means over the next 7 days a public release. My bet is public on Tues next week. Maybe Monday as well.

 

[gwang73]

RC is out!

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

One more week till it's out to public. 14.7

 

[Ansath]

Well, there we go.

wonder if we will see a 14.8.

 

[sbailey4]

I suspect we will see a release on Thursday 7-15. Otherwise Monday at the latest due to the new Mag charger.

 

[Ansath]

I'm going with a Monday or Tuesday public release. RC 1s tend to be around a week.

I think @sbailey4 is correct. I believe the Magsafe battery pack requires iOS 14.7 and is due to ship on Monday. I'm hoping 14.7 will be released Thursday.

The Magsafe battery pack does indeed require IOS 14.7 to work.

Hmm wonder what makes it need 14.7. Well, will see.

Here is the source:

Quote:

Make sure that your MagSafe-compatible iPhone is running iOS 14.7 or later. When you attach your MagSafe Battery Pack to your iPhone, it will automatically begin to charge your iPhone and a charging status appears on the Lock screen.

Maybe to enable reverse wireless charging?

That doesn’t say why it needs 14.7, which is what I was wondering.

 

[Ansath]

I guess, but would have thought that would already have been baked in. Well, will never know really unless Apple tells us explicitly.

Of course, but I thought it would be appropriate to link the source that makes me think that IOS 14.7 will arrive tomorrow or the next monday.


As to why the battery needs 14.7. Who knows. Maybe there is no specific reason at all. Apple tends to do that. For example, Apple Music lossless requires IOS 14.6 and Mac Os Big Sur 11.4. Catalina could play Apple Music lossless without any technical limitations, but alas...

I wasn’t doubting that you’d got that from Apple

I could easily be wrong and it will turn up in the next few hours, which will be typical of my guesstimates over the last month 😂

I know. It just proper form to quote a source, thats all.

I could easily be wrong as well. 🤣

Haha true, but I’d looked it up by that point.

Nah, I am sure you’re right and I’m wrong now.

So 14.7 public release not today

 

[Ansath]

So 14.7 public release not today

Could be any time in the next 5 hours or so…..
