Release record
Release notes
Editorial synthesis with inline references and a source ledger when citations are available.
iOS 14.1 added 10-bit HDR playback and editing in Photos on iPhone 8 and later. Most of the release was a detailed reliability pass across the Home Screen, Mail, calls, Calculator, media, Apple Watch setup, Files, and Wi-Fi.[1]
The public note identifies each affected workflow rather than announcing a broader platform feature set. Apple did not publish a dedicated 14.1 security bulletin or developer release-note page in the first-party source set reviewed.[2]
