You guys mention Paris & Berlin, yet Brussels is considered the capital of Europe. It houses the NATO Headquarters & loads of European Union institutes for a reason. Might want to start using it ;-)

What are you talking about. The real capital is Antwerp of course. We have the best drug traffic in the world ;p
 
Why do I get nervous about downing the latest iOS on an older device (8-plus) and fear it will ruin/slow down an otherwise good, stable iOS 12.4.1 it is currently rocking.
 
Ha ha. Yep thats us. We still have bits and pieces all over the world including small island territories such as Bermuda and the Falkland Islands and a number of countries still have the Queen as their head of state including New Zealand, Australia and Canada :)

Our little island once had the biggest empire the world had ever seen and covered around 25% of the world's land surface including our special and treasured friends across the pond whom I have a special affection for and still fondly know as the colonies ;) :)

Love Belgium by the way. I went on a football tour across Belgium once. Lovely people. Very hospitable.

Here in Canada I still refer to it a part of the empire.
 
Surprised, although not unexpected, that it is waiting until 10AM Pacific time. Strikes me that releasing to all at the same time puts a huge load on their servers. If released earlier then maybe before some get up etc. I would think it would stretch out server loads but Apple is Apple

people are still asleep in Asia, Australia. Makes no difference when it's released.

IIRC, Apple uses third party servers. They are designed to handle this type of traffic. You may get some slowdowns at the initial release crunch but often even at these initial release times it is often quite speedy.

My main concern is bugs. Most of the bugs are in third party software though so it will depend on how soon those apps are updated. Some get updated immediately while others take their time.

Has anyone who has 14 loaded on their phones had any issues switching from the cellular network to WiFi calling while on an active call? With my X on 13 (all versions of 13) my phone won't connect to the WiFi calling while I am on a call. I have pretty poor reception in the condo building I live in and need WiFi calling. If I am on the phone when I enter my unit, it won't switch to the WiFi calling until I complete the call and my reception bars will show 1 at best. Sometimes a dropped call.

So thanks for any thoughts.

They left out a lot of big European cities.

Germany is the economic powerhouse. France is the military powerhouse. Italy and Greece are the cultural origins. Spain is the metropoli of the hispanic world.

Sorry mate, I think everybody agreed on Brussels precisely because it doesn't matter. No offense.

@MacRumors - you should mention iOS 14's ability to let the user set a custom encrypted DNS system wide. This is one of my favorite features but it's missing in the round-up page of iOS 14.

I have been waiting for this feature to come to iOS, it's great in Android as you can just set AdGuard DNS and get systemwide ad blocking even on mobile data without having to connect to a VPN.

Where do I go to enable it? I have an iPhone with the iOS 14 GM right here but cannot find the setting for a universal DNS change, nor any mention of encrypted DNS.

I'm guessing it's DoT like Android?

Barbados didn't get the memo😁
 
Or just join the public beta now and download the final Gold Master version right now ahead of the rush, just done it and its running perfect so far.

Does that create any problem? Sorry to ask very stupid question but I've always been that man who waits until it's released and download it in 78 hours because of server problem.😂 So if I just download GM version now what do I do to make it out from Beta or how does that process go? Really want to try iOS 14 asap.
