Note: if you bookmark this guide, you will find my final verdict here in one weekĠ2/06 Final Verdict: Since my initial review, there have been growing reports of extreme battery drain from iOS 14.6 upgraders.
For everyone else, the combination of new features, minimal early bug reports and the long list of patches for security vulnerabilities means I would advise you upgrade as a matter of priority. None of these are ‘zero day’ breaches, meaning they are not being actively exploited in the wild, but nevertheless the unusually long list includes vulnerabilities in audio, Mail, WebKit (Safari’s browser engine) and WiFi.Īs always, cautious users will want to wait for my Final Verdict, which I always deliver after one week. Head to Apple’s official security page and you will find the listing for iOS 14.6 and iPadOS 14.6 lists a massive 43 security patches. Both had been eagerly awaited and while Apple Card Family appears to be working well, the Podcasts app remains buggy.Īpple Card Family has arrived with the launch of iOS 14.6 Appleĭig a little deeper, however, and the primary reason to upgrade to iOS 14.6 is for security. The big news here is the addition of Apple Card Family and Podcast subscription support.
iPhone may experience reduced performance during startup. Bluetooth devices could sometimes disconnect or send audio to a different device during an active call. Call blocking extensions may not appear in Settings. Unlock with Apple Watch may not work after using Lock iPhone on Apple Watch. This release also fixes the following issues: Voice Control users can unlock their iPhone for the first time after a restart using only their voice. AirTag will show the partially masked phone number of the owner when tapped with an NFC-capable device. Lost mode option to add an email address instead of a phone number for AirTag and Find My network accessories. Subscription support for channels and individual shows. Apple Card Family adds support for families to track expenses, manage spending with optional limits and controls, and build credit together. Apple Card can be shared with up to five people, including anyone 13 years or older in your Family Sharing group. There are isolated reports of increased battery drain and heat build up but nothing to be concerned about at this stage.Īpple’s iOS 14.6 release notes are as follows: Those already suffering from CarPlay issues still are and bugs are also still being reported in Apple Podcasts app (it has suffered a lot of issues since its redesign in iOS 14.5). There’s more good news too because very few bugs have been reported in iOS 14.6 so far. Apple never acknowledged this problem in the first place, so there’s no fix listed in the official release notes but, if you are affected, upgrading looks a pretty good bet. 
The big news 24 hours after release is the performance issues seen in iOS 14.5.1 appear to have been solved in iOS 14.6.
