Overview

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

iOS 14.3 launched Apple Fitness+, added AirPods Max support, and enabled Apple ProRAW capture on iPhone 12 Pro models. App Store pages also began displaying developer-reported privacy summaries.[1][2]

The TV app gained a dedicated Apple TV+ tab and revised search, App Clip Codes became camera-launchable, air-quality information expanded, and Apple corrected messaging, Spotlight, Bluetooth, charging, accessory-setup, and VoiceOver problems.[3][4]
