Ios 14.7.1 coming soon
iOS 14.7 Bug May Prevent iPhones With Touch ID From Automatically Unlocking Apple Watch
Following the release of iOS 14.7, watchOS 7.6, and several other operating system updates this week, Apple has acknowledged that a bug in iOS 14.7...www.macrumors.com
Looks like we will get at least one more iOS 14 release.
Sometime
I think that is likely. An interim iOS release was required yesterday for shipments of the MagSafe battery pack but there was no imperative for something called iPadOS 14.7. Now bug fix releases can continue with 14.7.1. I am disappointed by that only because I want to get off of the beta train but can’t until Apple formally release something for iPad.
I dunno, iPad isn’t affected by that bug. I think we’ll see iPadOS 14.7 this week. iOS 14.7.1 is likely next week at the earliest.
There was no rush for it. iOS 14.7 had to be released for the MagSafe battery pack.
Enough with the silly excuses. Then why was TVOS , watchOS and the HomePod updated ……but not the iPad?
Cos they could? Why does Apple have to release all of them at the same time?
I'm just saying why iOS 14.7 have to come out on Monday, the rest didn't *have* to.
No, I think that's a fair question from jonnyb098. Since iOS and iPadOS share the same build, you would expect them to be released at the same time. You are right in a sense that Apple doesn't have the release all updates at the same time (e.g. macOS), but when two products share the same build and only one gets a release, I don't see a problem asking why in this case.
It’s a reasonable answer that iOS came out when it did cos of the MagSafe Battery Pack.

That's an interesting thought. Could be. Future updates will tell the tale...
I also wonder if this didn't have something to do with the delay - This may be more likely than synchronizing with macOS releases. Again, time will tell.

Yeah I agree. Someone would say, we got 13.7 in September last year but that was some COVID related update, a special case.
This thread will live on anyway, we may have a full year of 14.7.x updates!
There will be more iOS 14 related releases. Though they will only be bug fixes and security patches.
13.7 included both of those, as well as the COVID related item, so that would have come anyway. It’s happened a few times over the last few years that we’ve had August releases, whether it be 14.8, or they run through 14.7.1 onwards.

Considering Apple is going to support iOS 14 along with iOS 15, for security updates and stuff, I feel like we will see a 14.8 and maybe even a 14.9 at some point, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we just don’t see a beta release for them, either. No new features and just security updates.
