We already wrote last night that Apple might release iOS 14.5 and Co. this evening. Now there is a report that supports our assumption.
Apple plans to release iOS 14.5 later today publishThis is reported by both the New York Times as well as Financial Times. The software update has been in beta since February 1st and includes a long list of new features, including the ability to unlock an iPhone with Face ID while wearing a mask, assisted by an Apple Watch. iOS 14.5 also introduces support for 5G in dual-SIM mode on iPhone 12 models, new Waze-like features in Apple Maps, AirPlay 2 streaming for Apple Fitness+ workouts, new emoji, new Siri voices, support for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X game controllers, a redesigned Apple Podcasts app, a Battery Health bug fix for iPhone 11 models, and more.
iOS 14.5: Apple confirms release this week
Starting with iOS 14.5, Apple will also enforce App Tracking Transparency, which requires apps to obtain the user's permission to track their activity across other apps and websites for targeted advertising purposes. Apple has already confirmed that iOS 14.5, iPadOS 14.5 and tvOS 14.5 will be released this week. The software updates will likely be released around 7 p.m. as usual in this country. The release of macOS 11.3 is also expected this week, as the release candidate version was released last week. As soon as this is the case, we will of course report on it. We will play the corresponding article in our events section so that none of you miss the rollout. (Photo by Denys Prykhodov / Bigstockphoto)
