Firmware update: Apple iOS 14.5.1

Apple has version 14.5.1 of iOS released. From version 13, iOS is only suitable for the iPhone and the iPads have been given their own OS, with the main difference being the extra options to use the larger screen. Apple makes several changes to the interface of iPhones with iOS 14. For example, users can place widgets on home screens and Apple adds an alphabetical list to pages full of apps that will form the right-most home screen. Furthermore, users can choose a different browser and mail app as default instead of Safari and Mail. Apple has made a lot of changes and improvements in version 14.5, such as being able to unlock the iPhone with an Apple Watch and support for AirTags has been added. Version 14.5.1 should fix an issue with app tracking transparency and also fix some security issues.
