Apple didn’t do the traditional beta seeding for this release, but there were hints that Apple was working on a new software version of iOS ahead of the much more anticipated iOS 15. And, it turns out that is indeed the case.

Today, Apple has released iOS 14.8, iPadOS 14.8, watchOS 7.6.2, and macOS 11.6 Big Sur to the public. While the version number would suggest something big, that’s not really going to be the case. This is meant to be the final version of iOS 14 released to the public, so it’s not necessarily meant to add any major new features to the mix.

As of iOS 14.2 and iPadOS 14.2, you’ve been able to access music recognition through the Control Center overlay. Apple has announced that customers have used this Shazam-powered feature more than a billion times since those software updates dropped in November 2020.

If you’ve tried out Apple Fitness+, but haven’t fallen in love with it despite the Apple Watch integration, how about another option? The online gym Tempo, which utilizes artificial intelligence to build a fitness program for users, has just announced it’s one alternative if you’re thinking about exploring a third-party option.
