Apple releases iOS 13.4, macOS 10.15.4, watchOS 6.2, and tvOS 13.4
March 24, 2020
https://www.neowin.net/news/apple-releases-ios-134-macos-10154-watchos-62-and-tvos-134

Today, Apple released all of the minor updates that it's been testing since early February, including iOS 13.4, iPadOS 13.4, macOS 10.15.4, watchOS 6.2, and tvOS 13.4. This was actually announced last week alongside the announcement of new iPad Pro tablets.

That's because the newer iPad Pros, including the 2018 model, have a new keyboard accessory that has a trackpad, and a key feature of iPadOS 13.4 will be trackpad support. Another feature is folder sharing in iCloud Drive, something that will also arrive in iOS 13.4. You'll also find better options for editing and viewing permissions.
In watchOS 6.2, you'll find that ECG is now available in Chile, New Zealand, and Turkey. This update also enables in-app purchases on Apple Watch apps.

These are, of course, minor updates, so you're not going to find any major game-changing features. Those kinds of features will instead be reserved for the major updates that we'll see this fall.

Apple Stops Signing iOS 13.3.1 Following Release of iOS 13.4
March 31, 2020
https://www.macrumors.com/2020/03/31/apple-stops-signing-ios-13-3-1-2/

Following the release of iOS 13.4 on March 24, Apple has stopped signing iOS 13.3.1, which means downgrading to that version of iOS is no longer possible.

iOS 13.3.1 was a minor update that added a toggle for disabling the U1 chip in Apple's iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max.
Apple routinely stops signing older versions of software updates after new releases come out in order to encourage customers to keep their operating systems up to date.

iOS 13.4 is the current publicly available version of iOS, with the update bringing a new Mail toolbar, iCloud Folder Sharing, new Memoji stickers, trackpad support on iPad, and more.

iPhone, iPad, and Mac users report video calling issues during pandemic
April 1, 2020
https://venturebeat.com/2020/04/01/...-report-video-calling-issues-during-pandemic/

[...] recent updates to the iPad, iPhone, and Mac operating systems have created video connectivity problems, according to a growing mass of user reports. Two issues have popped up in the latest iOS/iPadOS and macOS software releases, inhibiting some users’ ability to make or successfully complete video calls during the COVID-19 pandemic.

For iPad and iPhone users, the problem is isolated to Apple’s FaceTime video calling software [...] Following the iOS/iPadOS 13.4 update, Apple support community users (and others, via MacRumors) are reporting that they can no longer make FaceTime calls to people with iOS 9 — an issue impacting users with older devices ranging from several early iPads to the fifth-generation iPod Touch and iPhone 4S.

On the Mac side [...] When using apps such as Zoom, Google Hangouts, and Slack, these Macs are exhibiting freezes and crashes [...]
According to user reports (via Mr. Macintosh), the Mac issue is triggered when video is enabled in videoconferencing software with multiple users connected, causing the Mac to freeze to the extent that users must initiate a forced power down of the computer.

Additionally, the same FaceTime connectivity issue impacting iPad and iPhone users carries over to Mac users with Catalina 10.15.4, preventing FaceTime video and audio calls to the same array of older iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch devices.

Some Users Experiencing System Crashes on macOS 10.15.4, Especially During Large File Transfers
April 6, 2020
https://www.macrumors.com/2020/04/06/macos-10-5-4-kernel-panic-crashing-issues/

A sizeable number of Mac users are experiencing occasional system crashes after updating to macOS Catalina version 10.15.4, released a few weeks ago.

The crashing issue appears to be most prominent when users attempt to make large file transfers. In a forum post, SoftRAID described the issue as a bug and said that it is working with Apple engineers on a fix for macOS 10.15.5, or a workaround.
SoftRAID said the issue extends to Apple-formatted disks:

[...] In our bug report to Apple, we used a method to reproduce the problem with ONLY Apple formatted disks. Takes longer to reproduce, but that is more likely to get a faster fix to the user base.

Other users on macOS 10.15.4 have experienced crashes after waking their Mac from sleep, with affected systems suffering a kernel panic and rebooting to the Apple logo, according to comments shared on the Apple Support Communities, MacRumors Forums, Reddit, and Twitter.
We've reached out to Apple for comment and we will provide an update if we hear back.

iOS 13.4.1 and iPadOS 13.4.1 are out with a fix for FaceTime
April 7, 2020
https://www.neowin.net/news/ios-1341-and-ipados-1341-are-out-with-a-fix-for-facetime

Today, Apple released iOS 13.4.1 and iPadOS 13.4.1, introducing a few key fixes.

Both updates have a handful of key bug fixes. For one thing, there was an issue that causes iOS 13.4 devices from being in FaceTime calls with users on iOS 9.3.6 and earlier, and OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 and earlier. This was resolved on both iOS and iPadOS.
Another fix for both platforms is for a bug with choosing Bluetooth from the quick actions menu, causing it to fail. [...]

These updates do not include any security fixes, at least according to Apple.

When will Apple release iOS 13.5 to the public?
May 2, 2020
https://9to5mac.com/2020/05/02/ios-13-5-release-date/

Apple this week released iOS 13.5 beta 3 to developers and public beta users. The update includes a trio of major changes, but when will the update be released to everyone? Read on for the details.
What’s new in iOS 13.5?
iOS 13.5 includes three primary changes, all of which are clearly coming in response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Most notably, iOS 13.5 lays the groundwork for the exposure notification API developed by Apple and Google for COVID-19 contact tracing. [...]

Secondly, iOS 13.5 makes it much easier to unlock your iPhone if you’re wearing a mask. With this change, Face ID can detect if you’re wearing a mask and skip directly to the passcode screen if so.
Finally, iOS 13.5 also brings a change to Group FaceTime. One of the “features” of Group FaceTime is that the FaceTime app automatically enlarges the video window of the current person who is speaking.
Click to expand...

When will iOS 13.5 be released?
In addition to the exposure notification API for public health authorities, iOS 13.5 is an important release for iPhone owners right now. Apple has said that it hopes to release the exposure notification API in mid-May.
With the contact tracing framework, Group FaceTime changes, and Face ID usability improvements, iOS 13.5 is likely to be a very useful update for everyone.

Apple releases iOS and iPadOS 13.5 GM seeds, watchOS 6.2.5 to everyone
May 18, 2020
https://www.neowin.net/news/apple-releases-ios-and-ipados-135-gm-seeds-watchos-625-to-everyone

Today, Apple is releasing GM seeds for iOS 13.5, iPadOS 13.5, and tvOS 13.4.5, meaning that these builds are likely going to be the same ones that go out to the general public. Also, watchOS 6.2.5 has skipped right over the GM phase and is now available to everyone.

One new feature that's been added since is Apple's Exposure Notification API, which is meant for contact tracing of people that have been infected with the COVID-19 coronavirus.
This feature required a new SDK, which is why the version number changed.

Another new feature is a key Face ID improvement. No, it still won't work with a mask on. It's just slightly better than it was before.
The other COVID-related feature is that FaceTime will no longer enlarge tiles in group calls when someone is speaking.
Click to expand...

These updates should all be out really soon, and if you're an Apple Developer, the bits are available. Public beta testers should get the GM seed soon as well.

Apple releases final iOS 13.5 with coronavirus exposure alert support
May 20, 2020
https://venturebeat.com/2020/05/20/...13-5-with-coronavirus-exposure-alert-support/

Following an unusual beta testing cycle that began in late March and continued with renumberings in late April, Apple is today releasing the final public version of iOS 13.5, notably including features designed to limit the spread of COVID-19: exposure notifications and improved Face ID recognition of protective masks. The company is also debuting a collection of largely bug-fixing updates to its iPadOS, macOS and tvOS operating systems.

Two smaller iOS 13.5 updates are shared with iPadOS 13.5, also releasing today. One enables the biometric authentication system Face ID to recognize a face mask and quickly allow passcode entry as an alternative.
Another tweak to iOS 13.5 adds support for new Pride faces and rainbow effects included in watchOS 6.2.5 for Apple Watches. [...]

Apple has also publicly released tvOS 13.4.5 for Apple TVs with bug fixes rather than new marquee features, and macOS 10.15.5 for Mac computers is expected to follow shortly. All of the new OS updates will be available through the Software Update mechanisms of their respective devices.

Apple releases macOS Catalina 10.15.5 with new Battery Health Management feature
May 26, 2020
https://9to5mac.com/2020/05/26/appl...5-with-new-battery-health-management-feature/

Following the launch of iOS 13.5 last week, Apple today has released macOS Catalina 10.15.5 as well. This update brings a new feature to improve the lifespan of Mac notebook’s battery, besides bug fixes and performance improvements.

The biggest change in macOS 10.15.5 is a new Battery Health Management feature. The goal of the change is to reduce the chemical aging of a MacBook’s battery and extend its lifespan, but without comprising battery life.
Today’s update also fixes an issue where large data transfers to RAID volumes could cause Finder to become unresponsive.

Apple confirms serious bugs in iOS 13.5
June 4, 2020
https://www.itpro.co.uk/operating-systems/ios/355935/apple-confirms-serious-bugs-in-ios-135

Apple’s iOS 13.5 boasts a number of new features, including those targeting coronavirus-related iPhone issues.
However, the update contains several serious bugs affecting iPad and iPhone users. In addition to high battery drain, iPadOS can cause boot loops on the iPad Pro, while media playback of the MP4/MPEG-4 container format doesn’t work for iPads or iPhones.

The bug in iOS 13.5 causes the 10.5-inch iPad Pro to reboot between 30 and 45 seconds after logging in. Full factory resets and putting devices into DFU mode haven’t fixed the problem across all devices. Some iPhones have had the same problem, and the issue also affects iPadOS / iOS 13.4.1 and 13.5.
Click to expand...

One affected user said,

“I reported this to Apple and the only suggestion they gave me that I hadn’t already tried was to delete and reinstall the TV app. But that did not help. Good luck to all of us!”
Apple released iOS 13.5.1 as an update, but it doesn’t address either problem. As of now, there is no timeline for a fix.

Apple debuts iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS 14 public betas, macOS 11 and watchOS 7 ‘soon’
July 9, 2020
https://venturebeat.com/2020/07/09/...-14-public-betas-macos-11-and-watchos-7-soon/

For the first time since the Apple Watch was released in 2015, Apple will allow the general public to beta test the latest watchOS operating system over the summer, months ahead of its official release.
But for now, Apple is opening the public beta gates to three other operating systems — iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and tvOS 14 — to let iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV users play with their new features, with macOS 11 and watchOS 7 temporarily remaining in the “coming soon” camp.

The new iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS 14 public betas are available now on beta.apple.com for free after registration with Apple. They appear to be based on the same developer beta code that was released this Monday as “beta 2,” which has proved generally stable, though users may experience issues with iPhone FaceTime calling and Messages synchronization, among other hiccups.

Apps that ran properly on the last version of Apple’s device-specific operating systems generally work fine in the betas, but Mac users may experience non-trivial Safari problems, as well as finding that certain apps terminate immediately rather than loading properly.

Apple releases iOS and iPadOS 13.6, macOS 10.15.6, and watchOS 6.2.8
A few new features have arrived as we wait for iOS 14
July 15, 2020
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/202...-6-with-digital-car-keys-local-news-and-more/

Today, Apple released software updates for all of its platforms, including the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and HomePod. The updates should be rolling out to users around the world throughout the day.

In general, the updates are fairly small in scope. As usual, iOS 13.6 and iPadOS 13.6 are the beefiest, but they're still small. The flagship feature is the addition of support for digital car keys on the iPhone.
Additionally, Apple has added voice-narrated stories to Apple News+, as well as expanded local news and customization options in the News app. There's also a new "symptoms" category in the Health app, plus a variety of bug fixes.

Here are Apple's release notes for iOS 13.6. iPadOS 13.6 is similar but lacks digital car keys and the News audio features.

Apple releases new software updates for iPhones, iPads, and Macs
Today's updates are all about bug fixes
August 12, 2020
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/08/apples-ios-and-ipados-13-6-1-roll-out-to-all-users/

Apple has released software updates for three of its operating systems: iOS for iPhones and iPods, iPadOS for iPads, and macOS for Macs. The updates are small and focus on bug fixes rather than adding new features.

The updates are labeled iOS 13.6.1, iPadOS 13.6.1, and macOS 10.15.6 Supplemental Update. Typically, iOS or iPadOS updates that have two decimal points are bug-fix updates, and releases that bring new features have just one decimal point.
The mobile device update fixes a problem that prevented storage for being cleared as intended, addressed a bug that could cause "some displays to exhibit a green tint," and fixed an issue "where Exposure Notifications could be disabled for some users."

As for macOS, just two changes are named by Apple: a fix for a "stability issue" related to virtualization apps, and a wake-from-sleep problem unique to the brand-new iMac that just released.

Apple is no longer signing iOS 13.6, leaving iOS 13.6.1 as your only option
There's no going back now
August 20, 2020
https://www.imore.com/apple-no-longer-signing-ios-136-leaving-ios-1361-your-only-option

Apple has stopped signing iOS 13.6, meaning anyone who wants to install iOS afresh will need to update to iOS 13.6.1. It also means there is no longer a way to downgrade to iOS 13.6, too.

Apple sometimes stops signing older versions of iOS to ensure people are using the latest and greatest update. That could be to ensure people aren't running an insecure or unstable version of the software, but it's also often a step Apple takes to try and prevent jailbreaking.

ZDNet: iOS 13.6.1: Should you install it?

I'm a heavy iPhone user, so I notice battery life issues pretty rapidly [...] In fact, given the fact that my screen time increased, battery life and performance has been good under iOS 13.6.1.
As for performance and stability, I have noticed that the Camera app feels a little slower and more sluggish than before, which is curious. As for stability, things seem good, but stability has been good on iOS 13 for a while now.

So, if you've held back, I say go for it. The iOS 13.6.1 update is approximately 110MB (depending on the device you are installing it onto), and you can grab it now by going Settings > General > Software Update.

The new feature [...] remains opt-in only

Apple on Tuesday released iOS 13.7 to iPhone owners. Included in the update, along with bug fixes and general improvements, is Apple's standalone version COVID-19 Exposure Notifications feature.

The original version of this feature required a local health authority to create an app, which then allowed users to opt-in to the contact tracing feature. However, iOS 13.7 forgoes the need for your local health department or group to create an app.
After the update is installed, you can find the new Exposure Notifications option in the Settings app. [...]
If it's not available in your area yet, you can turn on availability alerts in the Exposure Notifications settings page.

Apple begins rolling out iOS 14 to the iPhone 6s and later
September 16, 2020
https://www.neowin.net/news/apple-begins-rolling-out-ios-14-to-the-iphone-6s-and-later

Apple is pushing the latest version of iOS starting today. The company has announced the release of iOS 14 to the iPhone 6s and later models, as it promised at its virtual event yesterday.

iOS 14 brings a bevy of new features that overhaul the home screen design. These features include the new widgets, which can display different types of information depending on your time, location, and activity, courtesy of Smart Stack that uses on-device intelligence. You can also adjust its size and customize what apps it shows.
Other features coming with iOS 14 include App Clips for viewing a small portion of an app when needed, new guides in Maps, fresh capabilities in messages including new Memoji options, and more.

TechCrunch: iOS 14 is now available to download

The company is also releasing major updates for the iPad, Apple Watch and Apple TV today. So you can expect some new features with iPadOS 14, tvOS 14 and watchOS 7 as well.
The release of those updates caught many developers by surprise.

The update is currently rolling out and is available both over-the-air in the Settings app, and by plugging your device into iTunes for a wired update. But first, back up your device.

ArsTechnica: Apple launches iOS 14, iPadOS 14, tvOS 14, and watchOS 7 on just one day’s notice

The short runway is giving developers headaches, but the update is here
Today marks the launch of most of Apple's major annual updates to its operating systems—excepting macOS Big Sur. iOS 14, iPadOS 14, tvOS 14, and watchOS 7 are rolling out to users across the globe and throughout the day today (and tomorrow, in some regions).

But with no iPhones announced this week, Apple instead pushed these updates only one day after the event and one day before the new Apple Watch and eighth-generation iPad are expected to end up in users' hands.

Amidst the chaos, Apple published a note to its developer portal yesterday imploring developers to "Make sure your apps are ready when iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 become available to customers worldwide." That note came with no acknowledgement that, for many, that would be nigh impossible given the timeframe.

Apple Stops Signing iOS 13.7, Downgrade from iOS 14 No Longer Possible
September 23, 2020
https://wccftech.com/apple-stops-signing-ios-13-7-downgrade-from-ios-14-no-longer-possible/

Apple released iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 last week and it brought a boatload of new additions to the table. The update is huge considering the number of features it brings to the table. Now, a week after the release, Apple has stopped signing iOS 13.7. What this means is that if iOS 14 did not entice you for some reason, you cannot downgrade to the previous iOS 13 build anymore.
You Can No Longer Downgrade from iOS 14 to iOS 13 As Apple Stops Signing iOS 13.7
iOS 13.7 was Apple's final version of iOS 13. Up until now, users had the option available to downgrade to the previous version. Now, Apple has pulled the plug to downgrade from iOS 14. Take note that the move will not hold any major importance for average users.
However, if you're someone who is experiencing a lot of bugs and issues in the software, or if you were looking to jailbreak your iPhone, that is where you are now restricted.
Click to expand...

Apple, on the other hand, encourages users to stick with the latest as it brings the latest bug fixes and performance enhancements. Moreover, Apple also stopped signing iOS 13.7 or older formwares so it can prevent users from jai;breaking. Lastly, Apple wants users to use the latest features.
Other than jailbreak, iOS 14 is a major update that brings visual design changes to the Home screen with widgets.

iOS 14: The worst release to date
A quick release of iOS 14.0.1 brought some fixes, but things are still super rocky
October 1, 2020
https://www.zdnet.com/article/ios-14-the-worst-release-to-date/

iOS 14 is out, and in keeping with the theme of 2020, things are rocky.
Very rocky.

There are issues galore. From performance issues, battery problems, user interface lags, keyboard stutters, crashes, problems with apps, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity woes.
And it's not just iPhone issues. The iPad platform -- a platform that Apple promotes as a replacement for laptops -- is also plagued with similar issues (and more, such as charging problems).
Click to expand...

Over a billion devices makes it a huge and diverse ecosystem.
And people get a few months of stability before being subjected to another shaky release.

Quite possibly the worst.
