Does iOS 14 still break the camera and microphone for iPhone 7/7+? I searched for a 7-specific thread on this and didnt see it.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 14 upgrade and iPhone 7 issues

There have been a few reports of some people having issues with one or the other, but nothing really beyond that.
i use an iPhone 7 on 14.0.1 and had no issues at all with my device. it actually seems to have better battery life and speed, despite loading up on widgets.
of course this is just my personal experience and someone else might be going through hell with the same configuration.

Hmm ok. Is it still possible to downgrade to iOS 13 (Is it still signed for old devices?) if I upgrade and have those problems? Given the microphone and Camera are among the main purposes of a smartphone....
I have a iPhone 7 plus and Apple Watch series 5 and its called my wife by itself twice not sure which device is to blame as I updated both.
I used to use low power mode always but can no longer do that as the iPhone scrolls mails and other text all jerky now in low power mode it needs all the cores on to be usable :-(
the camera took blurry pictures but 14.1 seems to have fixed that.
I never use bedtime and now its baked into the clock app and I hate that too, even worse I hate the new way of inputing a new alarm time !
I hate the new features and wish I did not update , hand washing activates when rinsing a coffee cup ! App Library sucks , the new music player sux so bad I prefer the widget on the lock screen ! why take away shuffle and repeat buttons and hide them ? 3D Touch could of been left in on older devices instead of stripping it out for some features like recent calls on phone app. none of it was needed but the bugs make it all so much worse ! this was in beta how can it be so bad on release ?

That is somewhat odd. It doesn't seem to have that sort of an effect on an iPhone 7 that I use. Perhaps something with the installation?
I haven't used Bedtime and still done use it in iOS 14. It doesn't seem that you need to use it or it gets in the way as far as I can tell.
You should be able to turn that feature off if you want, as I recall.
Seems like that change doesn't have much to do with 3D Touch (as even Haptic Touch was affected), and is more of a general iOS 14 change, potentially related to the new widget functionality.

Yeah it’s not worth it for me. Will devices on iOS 13 still get security updates, or because I can get iOS 14 it wouldn’t give me that option?
Since all the devices can install iOS 14 those type of updates would be coming in the form of iOS 14 updates.
I upgraded my iPhone7plus to ios14 and it required for iCloud I.D and I forgot my iCloud password. How do I unlock my iPhone7plus iCloud I.D?
