iOS 14.8 Features, Changes, and Issues

To put it straight, iOS 14.8 is more geared towards enhancing the software and less towards adding new features or tweaks. Because iOS 15 is just around the corner, it makes sense to go full throttle for refinements.

But why did Apple have to rush for iOS 14.8 update when the iOS 14.7 was released just last month with some notable features and a ton of improvements? Though only the Cupertino-giant would be able to answer this question perfectly, we guess the company had found some bugs and security issues that it wanted to fix without any delay. As we all know how strongly the tech giant takes on security, it’s quite obvious that the company has rushed for the security patches and the miscellaneous issues that may have cropped up out of nowhere.

Without undermining the impressive speed and seamless experience that iOS delivers, the mobile operating system has had a long history of being embroiled in way too many issues such as the black screen of death, audio issues, overheating, and more. Even though Apple doesn’t take long to come up with reliable fixes for the most common iOS issues, random bugs and unexpected problems have become the part and parcel of the mobile operating system. Worse, there are certain issues such as ill-functioning of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and battery drain that never seem to go away.
