We already have here a new version of iOS for iPhone, probably one of the latest versions that we can find among the entire list of iOS 14 updates. It comes with iPadOS 14.6, macOS 11.4, watchOS 7.5 and tvOS 14.6. Here are the most relevant news that you can find when you update your devices to these software versions.
Support for Apple Music news and more
Among the highlights that we can find in all these versions of Apple device software are the news that was recently announced for its streaming music platform. Lossless Audio functions for Apple Music , which is to reproduce content without loss of quality, is now available along with other functions such as spatial sound or Dolby Atmos. Of course, remember that the maximum quality function is not available for any of Apple’s headphones, no matter how paradoxical it sounds, although with others that can be connected via 3.5 mm jack and in the HomePod and HomePod mini, although in the latter will be so in the future.
Another new functionality that we find is related to the AirTags . The fact that this accessory has been on the market for such a short time implies that it has a greater margin to bring news and what we can find in these software versions is the one related to being able to add a contact email in case of loss. We remember that until now it was only allowed to add the phone number.
Support has also been added for Apple Podcast Subscriptions, the company’s new platform system for podcasters to add paid content by subscription. To this is added the compatibility with Apple Card Family, being able to add up to five people to the same card, although we remember that this financial product is still exclusive to the United States. As a final detail, improvements in Voice Over have also been added so that people with vision and / or mobility problems can unlock the iPhone by voice when it has been restarted.
Fix many bugs and bring security patches
Something that Apple always implements in its updates are bug fixes and in these cases it was not going to be less. There are those who could be suffering small performance problems, failures with Bluetooth accessories and even the impossibility of unlocking the iPhone with a mask while having Apple Watch. All this seems to be already fixed in this version, as well as the errors related to iPad, Mac and Apple TV.
We also see the always important security patches that make devices much more secure against potential malware. And in short, there is little more to tell and although they seem little new compared to what is seen in versions like iOS 14.5, it is normal that the brake has been stepped on a bit if we take into account that WWDC 2021 is just around the corner. This conference begins on June 7 and iOS 15, iPadOS 15, macOS 12, watchOS 8 and tvOS 15 will be presented with a list of news that will be much larger than the latter.
