Apple Releases iOS 14 5 The Most Exciting Controversial iPhone Update

Apple’s latest iPhone software update is with us. Oh, finally. It’s been a long time coming and it has a lot in it, more than any other mid-cycle update from Apple. Innovations range from the controversial App Tracking Transparency to lots of cool emoji to a super-slick way to unlock your iPhone with a mask on (as long as you’re wearing your Apple Watch). Read on for full details of this release and earlier iOS 14 versions, how to get it and what to get excited about (hint: there’s a lot). The full Apple changelog will be found at the end of this post shortly. This update is for compatible iPhones, with iPadOS 14.5 which is simultaneously released for compatible iPads. Compatibility for the phones goes back to the iPhone 6s, including iPhone SE (both the first and current editions), plus the seventh-generation iPod touch. For iPads, if you have any iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 or more recent, iPad mini 4 or newer and iPad from fifth generation onwards then you’re good to go. Updating is straightforward. You’ll know this by now, but just in case: first, go to the Settings app on the iPhone and choose General, then Software Update. Then it’s Download and finally, Install. This is a big update, but it’s worth waiting for - it was a 1.19GB update that took 20 minutes to download and another short while to install. What’s in the update? There’s plenty to get your teeth into here. Unlock iPhone with Apple Watch If you’re wearing a mask you’ll know that Face ID takes time to spot that you don’t look like you and offers a passcode screen instead. But if you don't want to wait that long and you’re wearing an Apple Watch, the Watch can communicate with your iPhone and confirm that it’s you. Lots of new emoji Then there are all the new emoji, more than 200 of them, including one called Face in Clouds which just looks slightly rude. Read all about these here. App Tracking Transparency This is the really controversial part of the whole update, the one which other companies such as Facebook, for instance, have been dead opposed to and protested strongly against. It means that when you launch an app that collects your activity data or tracks you, you can turn off that option. Trackers are often used for personalized ads or for companies to see how an ad campaign is going. It will be trickier for companies to track you thanks to iOS 14.5. Apps that track you will, from today, have to ask you whether you want to be tracked or not. The expectation is that most people will say no. Battery recalibration With iOS 14.5, your iPhone will automatically recalibrate your battery if inaccurate peak performance or unexpected drain are spotted. For now, this is restricted to iPhone 11 series models but others may be compatible later. Dual sim 5G If you have a dual sim iPhone, both can access 5G at the same time. Choose your music service You can’t set a default music service in iOS, as you can with your web browser, for instance.
