Get ready: Apple’s iOS 14, iPadOS 14, tvOS 14, and watchOS 7 arrive today

Apple plans to release iOS 14, iPadOS 14, tvOS 14, and watchOS 7 today. That news for yesterday’s “Time Flies” event caught a lot of developers off guard, but users will be eager to get theses new releases ASAP. MacRumors has a breakdown of when Apple’s new operating systems are expected to become available based on other times zones in the United States and around the world.

The App Library in iOS 14 makes it easier for users to get to all of their apps with a simple, easy-to-navigate view at the end of the Home Screen pages.

Tim Hardwick for MacRumors:

Although there’s no exact time for the release, major Apple OS updates usually arrive at around 10.00 a.m. Pacific Time, so if you want the latest features on your iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, or Apple TV, then make sure you have your device on and connected to Wi-Fi.

MacDailyNews Take: Prepare for the internet to get sluggish starting at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT!

  1. Have seen various reports about developers mad about the surprise announcement. However, I find that perplexing. I had written in my calendar “Approx. iOS 14 release date” for yesterday (the 15th), a month or more ago. It was based on guesswork, of course. But if you merely googled “iOS 14 release date”, that was the date lots of people were speculating. Hard to imagine it as a big surprise, when it happens about the same time year after year.

  2. There was a time, not too long ago, when Apple releases some software or the other at the same time in each time zone. This resulted in 24 server crashes, one per hour. I got the Apple TV update early this morning (ET), but the iPhone software is not yet available to me. They know they have Apple fans who will try to download everything at the same time, as evidenced by these comments. They are probably releasing it gradually by data center and by OS in order to avoid overloading their servers.

    They said it would come today. They did now promise a clock time. Be patient. Your life does not depend on whether you get the upgrade at 1:29 or 1:32.
