This is a concession made to the carriers. They are the ones stopping Apple for allowing this. If it were up to Apple, they don’t care how you get it really.

Apple Releases iPadOS and iOS 14.1 With Multiple Bug Fixes Ahead of iPhone 12 Launch

With the exception of Apple, I'm always inclined to wait awhile before installing updates. I installed a Win 10 update for my gaming desktop last week, and it caused a lot of errors. Luckily, I was able to uninstall the update and return to normal.
I find this funny because of how much Apple & Verizon hyped 5G in the iPhone 12 announcement. Very "Sign up for our service, but don't use it!"
"Improves compatibility with Ubiquiti wireless access points"
I noticed one or twice that my WiFi stalled on my iPad. Wasn't sure what the cause of the problem was. Good to know this is improved. (I have Ubiquiti access points at home)

Is the Intercom feature available in this update? It's in iOS 14.1 for HomePod but from this article can't tell if it's debuting in iOS for iPhone/iPad/Airpods etc. but leaning no.
Didn't see anything about messages lag when first opening it, hope its fixed...
I think it is also a "legal" issue - you don't have unlimited and don't understand that this is going to cost money to download that much and some lawyer will sue Apple for allowing this to happen.
Maybe when 5G really exists this will change. But for many that don't have as great cell as WiFi it could take a long time and might have errors in the download and thus even more data
Nothing about battery life... Fingers crossed there's at least some improvement because of all the fixes.
Unless you’re on a 5G plan. I think I read that earlier today.

I use 14.1 and I think it’s gotten worse.
I really wish MacRumors would include security update info for each patch. This would really help stress if an update is critical or just another bug fix update.
According to Apple's security page:
iOS 14.1 and iPadOS 14.1
This update has no published CVE entries.

I live on the edge!
I've already updated Adobe and NVidia... and I just downloaded the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool for 20H2
I will wipe and clean-install my secondary laptop tonight. I don't keep anything important on it anyway. It's just a travel laptop. And it's easy to download the few programs I use.
But yes... I usually wait a while before I do anything with my primary desktop. That's the most important computer.
Luckily I've never had any bad experiences with any kind of updates. Fingers crossed!
I'm in the process of updating an iPhone 7 Plus, and iPad Air 2 to iOS 14.1. For me, I have had very little trouble with iOS 14 as a whole. Not even any of the major battery issues people have mentioned. I typically just keep my apps updated, and update anything needing an update prior to installing a new version of iOS. The only version of iOS I could say I had initial issues with, was iOS 13. I'll come back and share my experience once the update is completed.
Something to keep in mind is that Apple doesn't always publish security fixes right away.
it is most probably restricted by the carrier definition file of your MNO.
mine has this:
<key>OTASoftwareUpdate</key>
<dict>
<key>MaxBytesOverCellular</key>
<integer>629145600</integer>
</dict>
so updates less than 629Mbytes can be downloaded via cellular. who is your MNO? this information can be downloaded from apple.

I’m using one phone as a “WiFi” hot spot to update the other and then I’ll do it the other way around.
