Discontinuation Notice: We will no longer be updating this tracker with new data.

Here’s the crux of the article in video form:

Original story (published on November 18, 2020) follows:

Apple’s latest and greatest version of its mobile operating system known as iOS 14 was announced on June 2020, and subsequently released on September 16.

iOS 14 is arguably one of the biggest updates offered by Cupertino perhaps since iOS 11 for its iPhone series.

The operating system comes with a plethora of new features like widget support, App Library, Compact UI, search improvements and much more.

Moreover, Apple has yet again proven its reliability and continued software support by releasing the update for all the devices that previously got the iOS 13 update – all the way back to the iPhone 6s series.

Other devices that received the update are: iPhone SE, iPhone 7 series, iPhone 8 series, iPhone X and XR, iPhone XS series, and the iPhone 11 series.

And yeah, the iPhone 12 series comes with iOS 14 out of the box, of course.

One unsurprising thing though, about not just iOS, but software in general, is the presence of unwanted guests. After every major update, the number of reports pertaining to all sorts of bugs see a huge spike.

The iOS 14 update is no different, and although Apple does offer a pretty systematic beta program to filter out potential bugs and issues, a few always end up reaching the stable releases.

These bugs/issues/problems usually get acknowledged almost immediately by Apple, while others stay on for a while.

With that being said, we keep track of such developments and provide crucial information about their status as soon as there are any updates, in this article.
