That was rather unexpected, a week after the iOS 14.7 and maOS 11.5 were released, Apple released another update within the last 24 hours in the form of iOS 14.7.1 and macOS 11.5.1 with the update of iOS 14.7.1 weighing it at 128MB where as macOS 11.5.1 weighed in at 2.2G. Given the size of…

Apple released iOS 14.7 and tvOS 14.7 on Tuesday (Monday US time) and on Thursday (Wednesday US time) for macOS 11.5 and iPad 14.7 – a last minute bug found in the macOS 11.5 release candidate necessitated a fix followed by a new build being made available to ensure that there were no regressions.

Another great video by Rene Richie regarding the rage whining by techno elite reviewers on YouTube regarding the iPads 15.0 about how it isn’t making the iPad more like a ‘normal laptop’ with all the power and flexibility that macOS has.
