Release notes

Overview

Editorial synthesis with inline references and a source ledger when citations are available.

iOS 14.0.1 was a focused early-maintenance release. Its most visible correction stopped a restart from resetting the user’s chosen default browser and mail apps.[1]

Apple also fixed missing camera previews on iPhone 7 models, Wi-Fi connection failures, outgoing mail failures with some providers, and images missing from the News widget. No dedicated Apple security bulletin or developer release-note page was found for this version.[2]
