iOS 14.2: the beginning of software patches and fixes for CASES
Battery cases possibly needing updates are an obvious example, less obvious is this beauty:
InkCase for iPhone SE 2020/8/7/6s/6 - Grey
Rekindle your iPhone! Upgrade your iPhone SE 2020, iPhone 8, iPhone 7 & iPhone 6 with a smart E Ink screen that will allow you to read articles, eBooks, live widgets, personalized wallpaper
Sadly this idea never really took off (perhaps by the time it was feasible, glance had moved to the watch?)
But maybe Apple will at some point bring it back, when they've run out of other ways to improve cases?
If the updates are important for Homepod mini, they'd have to release it more or less now.
Seriously apple stop turning on optimized battery charging after every single update😡
Less than 15 minutes from finding out about it to being in Preparing update... - which is what it is currently doing.
So their servers seem to be holding up quite well - now.
Hopefully this helps improve battery life compared to 14.1. My 12 Pro has been using 14% overnight with Data/WiFi/Bluetooth and Background App Refresh turned off.
There's a redesigned Now Playing widget in the Control Center that lists recently played albums that you might want to listen to when no music is playing.
I hate this. How do I turn this off. If I have my airpods while nothing is playing this just pops up on the screen. Its annoying.

Me: Holds Siri button, “Intercom”
Siri: “Sorry, I couldn’t find anyone who works at Entercom”

I guess I will be updating all my devices today, and families. One good thing, my ipad Pro finished the update in a few min. My phone still downloading lol.
Unusual night to release software updates. Usually it's on a Tuesday night.
Wild guess: because of the US presidential election, Apple postponed the update two days to make sure iPhones and iPads were not suddenly updating while people (in the media or polling stations) needed them?

Relates have come out on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays before (in some more unusual circumstances they even came out on Fridays and over the weekend too, but usually only in emergency type of situations when it comes to those days).
I'm surprised Apple bothers. Something else to give the battery campers reason to whine.
They can be ordered tomorrow, but it will be another 10 days after that until anyone actually gets one, so no rush yet on software compatibility.
