Preface

I didn't expect Beta 6 to come so suddenly.

This is different from the usual update every two weeks.

It’s only been a week since the last update.

If there are no expected errors.

This means that the release date of the official version of iOS 14 and iPhone 12 is approaching.

Next comes the final happy "weekly update mode".

Back to the firmware.

The biggest update this time is undoubtedly "finally supporting spatial audio."

According to the description of the previous press conference.

This feature will achieve a cinema-like audio surround effect through AirPods Pro's "head tracking":

Secondly, it is good news for our classmates in Xiamen.

Apple Pay finally supports the "Xiamen e-Pass Card".

The rest are still routine stability fixes.

There are many other improvements and changes in this version.
