Apple has recently shipped the RC build of iOS 14.5, and now the company has confirmed that a new major software update for iPhone and iPad would launch next week.

In other words, we’re now just a few days away from the moment the new OS update would go live, and users who can’t wait for the production debut of iOS 14.5, can now download the release candidate to try it out early.

What’s new in iOS 14.5?

Without a doubt, this new OS version is the biggest release since Apple shipped iOS 14 last fall. And the company itself provides a summary of what to expect in the upcoming operating system update.

“iOS 14.5 includes the option to unlock iPhone with Apple Watch while wearing a face mask, adds support for AirTag, and introduces separate skin tone variations for emoji with couples. Siri adds more diverse voice options, and App Tracking Transparency lets you control which apps are allowed to track your activity across other companies’ apps and websites,” the company says.

In addition, iOS 14.5 will also include major improvements for Apple Maps, as the application is getting incident reporting inspired by Google’s Waze.

Apple Maps users will therefore be able to report accidents and other hazards right in the app, with other users to then be alerted whenever they approach the location of the report. This is something that’s been around for a while in Waze, so without a doubt, it’s an update that’d come in handy to plenty of iPhone users who turn to their devices for navigation.

iOS 14.5 will also come with a new battery health calibration system that will provide users with more accurate information on the status of their batteries and whether servicing is required or not.
