Notable changes in the official version of iOS14.5

As soon as the fourth beta of iOS14.5 has just been released, Apple revealed that it is expected to release the official version on March 23. At the same time, the AirTags Bluetooth tracking device is receiving attention from "Apple" followers also debuting on this occasion. The updated content revealed in the previous test versions is considered a very "human" version, not only improving the experience efficiency but also enhancing the protection of user privacy.

The official version of iOS14.5 is scheduled to launch on March 23.

In the latest iOS and iPadOS 14.5 beta, the Location Services menu update in privacy settings indicates that Apple can use a user's location data at a location on Apple Maps to notify other users of the level of crowding at the site. This is similar to the feature that shows the traffic density on Google Maps.

Not only that, the official version of iOS14.5 also brings a new feature is app tracking transparency. Applications become "transparent" and require the consent of the user to track data, such as reading contacts, GPS navigation, ad targeting ... This is a controversial feature. The controversy between the tech giants like Facebook, Google and Apple in recent times, because users can control their privacy.

In general, the overall update is still the same as before, after iOS14.5 is pushed up, users update the system directly. Security update means that all optional functionality updates and the latest security patches can be applied without iOS14.5 upgrade. In other words, even if you don't want to upgrade your iOS system, you can still install the latest security patches. This means that the old iPhone will open a new life, even when it detects a security breach in the future, it is still updated without having to worry about the possibility of "crash" the system. before.

Update iOS14.5 is expected to optimize many user experiences.

Many people may not know that for the iPhone, updating iOS is not necessarily a good thing but also affects the smoothness. The official definition of the useful life of the iPhone is 3 years, if the battery capacity exceeds 500 cycles, it will drop below 80%. When it goes beyond 800 cycles, iPhone may become unusable, similar to the iOS system.

In fact, the first major version of iOS that came with an iPhone is often the best fit. For example, the smoothest system on the iPhone 6S was always iOS 9. After upgrading to iOS12 and iOS11, there were some bugs, it wasn't until iOS 13 that the situation improved. Because the more complex the function, the more new models are tuned, the more limited the optimization possibilities will be. 

Additionally, the original iOS mechanism itself, which is most compatible with the device itself, will have no room for improved smoothness after the upgrade. But the situation has changed as Apple strives to let old iPhone users experience and discover a host of exciting new features without requiring a system upgrade.

AirTags will reach users in this batch.

Currently, iOS14.5 beta4 optimizes iOS14.4.1 issues, significantly improves fluency and reduces heat generation. Previously, iOS14.4.1 version faced a lot of negative feedback from users, so it is quite understandable that Apple is trying to speed up the launch of iOS14.5.

In addition, the official version of iOS14.5 also supports Apple Watch to unlock the iPhone in a space, thereby solving the problem of not being able to use Face ID while wearing a mask. Specifically, users do not need to enter a password, as long as the Apple Watch is in use will be able to unlock the iPhone directly.

Overall, iOS14.5 is a small update, the performance is still satisfactory. It not only solves the fluency problem of iOS 14.4.1 but also supports the first "iOS selective update" and adds the means of unlocking the phone. Of course, the latest system will fix many previous bugs and some shortcomings of the iPhone, and users also hope that the software upgrade can solve further problems with signal, battery life and some other note.
