Apple Seeds First Betas of iOS and iPadOS 14.6 to Developers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the first betas of new iOS and iPadOS 14.6 updates to developers for testing purposes, with the new software available just ahead of when Apple plans to release iOS 14.5.

iOS and iPadOS 14.6 can be downloaded through the Apple Developer Center or over the air after the proper profile has been installed on an iPhone or iPad.

There is no word yet on what's included in the iOS and iPadOS 14.6 updates, but we'll update this article should we find anything new.

Apple has also seeded the first betas of watchOS 7.5 and tvOS 14.6 to developers.

for the ones that where saying that 14.5 would be the last update to IOS 14 well ....


I told you so I told you so I told you so that this would not be the last update too IOS 14

They're releasing iOS 14.6 before 14.5 is even out yet? Weird flex, but okay.

 

[_Spinn_]

But we haven’t gotten 14.5 🤣

Maybe this will have to code to enable the joint Apple Cards coming next month.

Its the way its usually done. One beta cycle ends, another takes off.

Why does it matter that 14.5 isnt general release. It was already made release candidate last week. This allows us to continue testing future releases rather than sitting around waiting. Downloading on ios and ipados now. 4.65GB

 

[ctdonath]

I have 14.5 installed, marked “up to date” yet there’s an “Also available iPadOS 14.6”.

Installing 14.6 now...

What the hell first it's 5 hours remaining then 22 mins now 2 hrs, seems a bit weird?!?

Why would’ve people thought that? We’re likely going to get iOS 14 betas throughout the summer even during iOS 15 testing, it always happens lol

Next month? 😕

I thought that was coming next week.

From experience, they're usually working on two OS versions plus two dot releases and/or point releases, all at the same time. When we were going back and forth between Snow Leopard and Lion, it was confusing having the scroll direction change several times a day.

Eek! Says 2 minutes here. As much as I hate Comcast support, there Gigabit connection has been great.

there where quite a few on here that where saying that IOS 14.5 would be the last update I wonder what they think of it now lol now that IOS 14.6 beta 1 is out lol

 

[oneteam]

14.6 will be out before 14.5 🤣

I have 14.5 installed, marked “up to date” yet there’s an “Also available iPadOS 14.6”.

Installing 14.6 now...

Yeah I got that too, thought it was interesting.

There are always multiple code branches in development at the same time. When one version goes RC a new branch is created to begin developement of the next major version or revision.

 

[mistafro]

Damn this beta feels so fast and fluid!

 

[kycophpd]

Damn this beta feels so fast and fluid!

Did you get an M1 with 16gb early ? 🤣

 

[Octavius8]

Can this version restore the graphics performance of iOS 13 in all iPhones?

 

[Neepman]

What I wouldn't give to have this update-a-week madness stop.

The release is beta.

The apple hosted servers are being hammered.

Then remove the beta profile. Nobody’s making you participate.

 

[Mr. Dee]

Maybe I should wait for iOS 14.6.2 before I upgrade from iOS 13.

There is always versions of iOS even after WWDC. They have betas for the current iOS and then another set for the new.
