Overview

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

iOS 14.7 added MagSafe Battery Pack support for the iPhone 12 family, Apple Card Family account co-ownership, HomePod timer management from Home, and air-quality data in more countries.[1]

Podcasts could filter between all and followed shows, while Apple corrected playlist sharing, Apple Music lossless and Dolby Atmos playback, an iPhone 11 battery-service message, and Braille output in Mail. A separate security bulletin covered privacy, media, kernel, WebKit, and Wi-Fi issues.[2][3]
