Official iOS 14.5 release date?

[kevb23]

What are we thinking for the official release date for iOS 14.5? Tuesday with the press release or later in the week or following week?

 

[EdwinG]

Tuesday or Wednesday, the same days most of the betas were released.

 

[kevb23]

Cool lets hope we get it this week then

 

[doogald]

Tuesday most definitely. It's probably already ready, and they are just waiting for the event.

I agree with this! I'm planning on having all my devices fully charged and ready so that I can install as soon as it's released.

I agree with this! I'm planning on having all my devices fully charged and ready so that I can install as soon as it's released.

I’m already on the latest beta, but my #1 annoyance (actually it’s my only annoyance) with the Apple Watch is when I take it off the charger, its charge is 100 %, I leave the house, and I then get a notification that an update is available. I wish Apple would allow AW updates without being on the charger.

I wish Apple would allow AW updates without being on the charger.

I get it, but I believe that the issue is that there is no way for an end-user to recover from a failed update (because the watch shut down in the middle), unlike iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, because there is no port to allow wired connection recovery. So Apple is being extra-careful to avoid this.

Maybe instead they will develop a more modular update process that does the update is smaller chunks while the device is off-battery? Someday maybe.

Boy, was I wrong or what?

 

[sir mictol]

Boy, was I wrong or what?

So so wrong, lol

 

[Annie_M]

I was wrong too!

 

[Lee_Bo]

You're installing the release candidate.

Which will probably be 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the public version.

Sure, but's still a 'beta' and not everyone will even know it exists.

 

[Mr.Willie]

RC, man that thing was 4.5 gigs…

Well we’ll see what happens in the next week or two.

 

[kevb23]

Guessing we see it tomorrow or Tuesday!

 

[Annie_M]

I’m thinking Tuesday... it’s got to be this week, because people will need it when AirTags arrive on The 30th.
