Two weeks after the first iOS 14.7 beta rolled out, Apple has begun seeding iOS 14.7 beta 2 to developers. The public release of iOS 14.6 actually followed the first iOS 14.7 beta by five days, and since its release, iPhone owners have been reporting increased battery drain. It’s still not sure what all iOS 14.7 will bring to the table, but hopefully it will include a fix for this issue.
Providing Apple sticks with its biweekly schedule, this will likely be the final beta release before WWDC 2021, which starts next week on Monday, June 7th. We expect to get an early look at iOS 15 during the keynote address, and it should be another big step forward for the software.

Whichever method you choose, just make sure to back up your device before installing the update. You can never be too careful!
