In a surprising turn of events, Apple released the first iOS 14.7 and iPadOS 14.7 developer betas on Wednesday afternoon. The reason that this came as such a shock is because iOS 14.6 has yet to be publicly released, as the release candidate only rolled out on Monday. Only beta program participants have had a chance to experience iOS 14.6, and yet iOS 14.7 is already in testing.
The beta releases are only a few minutes old, so we still don’t know what features and fixes they bring to iPhone and iPad, but we’ll be sure to share more if they include anything exciting. This could quite possibly hint that iOS 14.6 is nearly ready for public consumption as well, so if you aren’t a beta tester, be on the lookout for an important update in the days ahead.
Apple’s first iOS 14.7 beta is now available to developers, as is iPadOS 14.7 beta 1. If you’re wondering whether or not your device is compatible with iOS 14 or iPadOS 14, we put together the full list below containing every supported device. If your device is on the list, you’re good to go:
