Apple releases important iOS 14.8 update: All updates are required to fix security vulnerabilities

Apple today released iOS 14.8, the eighth major update of iOS 14. iOS 14.8 is two months away from the last iOS 14.7. In iOS 14.7, Apple added MagSafe external battery support.

This time, iOS 14.8 is mainly a security update, and Apple recommends that all users upgrade as soon as possible.

iOS 14.8 will likely be the final update for the iOS 14 operating system as we expect the iOS 15 update to be released in a few weeks, but Apple has said it plans to allow people to continue using iOS 14 if they don’t want to upgrade to iOS 15.

For this reason, iOS 14 will likely continue to receive small security updates over time, but new features will likely be limited to iOS 15 users.
