IDK, I’m in the same room as my router, and my XS Max is doing the same! iPad was finished in about 10 minutes. iPhone is taking forever! I know it’s been over an hour, and it still keeps jumping around between 45 minutes and 5 hours remaining.
Got a tip for us?

I had this happen a few times in past iOS updates. A reboot (and cancelling it? and retrying) fixed it for me.
Thank you! I just did a hard reboot and it started going through immediately! 😁
Yeah iOS 14 wasn’t really ready for a public release. Wish we’d gotten 4-6 more betas.
When this happened last week I just turned off and then on again the automatic setting for time , and it never did it again...maybe just lucky but you can try....

And that next bug fix you’re gonna wait for will have its own bugs for some users including maybe you.
Sure but the point is it'll potentially have less bugs than the GM. I'm not saying its garbage or will ever be bug free, but sometimes depending on your preference its better to wait and not jump on the first release.
I don't update to a new iOS without the first update dropping—I know the first beta of 14.1 dropped a few days ago. Does anyone have a sense, historically, of how soon we might see 14.1 if we are in first beta now?
Second, though I expect many people to be positive on this forum, how are people finding 14? Would you recommend updating unreservedly to people right now?

If you're worried about reliability, 14.1 is a bad target for you. Whenever 14.1 comes, it will probably be another stage at which they add new features, thus meaning it will be unreliable for awhile too.
Since reliability is your goal, you should aim for 14.0.1 or 14.0.2 and hold off whenever 14.1 appear. Then, at that point, wait for 14.1.1 before updating again. Those x.x.1 updates are your friend.
As to the actual question, we don't know when we'll see any additional updates, but once you see a news article that 14.0.1 has gone to beta, probably a week after that.

There's no iOS 14.1 beta yet, but rumors suggest that 14.1 will be what ships on the iPhone 12 (in October?). Honestly iOS 14 has been really stable right from Beta 1 (I tried it on a secondary device) so I wouldn't worry about upgrading to it. Seems like we are on an every other year cycle with stable and buggy initial releases now...
I like how they jumped to Xcode 12.2 beta without betas for iOS 14.2, iPadOS 14.2, tvOS 14.2, watchOS 7.1, and macOS Big Sur 11.

Ye, it makes me wonder if iOS 14.2 beta will be available soon. I guess next week.I like how they jumped to Xcode 12.2 beta without betas for iOS 14.2, iPadOS 14.2, tvOS 14.2, watchOS 7.1, and macOS Big Sur 11.

I wonder which version the 12 will arrive with. Don't want to get stuck with a newer version on my current device again like with the 11PM and iOS 13

maybe 14.1 will just go to public release with no betas and ship with the iPhone in October? im confused.

Assuming it will be a staggered iPhone release, 14.1 might be for lower tier in Oct and 14.2 in the higher tier in Nov.
