• Support for HomePod (2nd generation)
• Emergency SOS calls now require holding the side button with the up or down volume button and then releasing in order to prevent inadvertent emergency calls
• New Unity wallpaper honors Black history and culture in celebration of Black History Month
• Fixes an issue in Freeform where some drawing strokes created with Apple Pencil or your finger may not appear on shared boards
• Addresses an issue where the wallpaper may appear black on the Lock Screen
• Fixes an issue where horizontal lines may temporarily appear while waking up iPhone 14 Pro Max

Hope it fixes the problem of apps suddenly crashing for no reason…
Skip this one as it contains no value for me
Nice try. Nope … no Trojan horse woke garbage release for me. Keep you Black History wallpaper … and any other woke wallpaper … you are not forcing me down this path. Next month it will be transgender wallpaper. Never. Stop it.
Could not agree more. Constantly forcing Leftist agenda down users throats, particularly if you are moderate to conservative, is disenfranchising well over half the population to say the least.
I’ll be glad to cease complaining when they EQUALLY offer white men hunting with guns, beards and booze; all religious themes or guys and gals driving tractors or 18-wheelers wallpaper to serve ALL their customers.
Unfortunately, the weak woke snowflakes would throw endless hissy fits on social media and protests to get their SELFISH WAY. If we have to tolerate their 24/7 virtue signaling contrived crap, what goes around, comes around…
Goeb, your exasperation knows no bounds. The one who shows up here nonstop to have hissy fits about superficial crap is YOU. If you want to wrap your “liberal” Apple stuff in camo and manly man paraphernalia, NOBODY IS STOPPING YOU. If a mega multinational corporation isn’t spitting out the correct fashion flair to suit your personal tastes, DON’T BUT IT.
But please, do us all a favor. STOP WHINING. It’s about 12 years past time you moved on to a different brand that exudes your highly sensitive values and feelings. If you simply cannot wean yourself off Apple and think that you must lead change, then LEARN HOW TO DO IT. Submit a shareholder proposal at the next annual shareholder meeting. That’s how it is done. Spare us your constant complaining.
For the record, I am no fan of Cook, no supporter of nonbinary attention-seekers, and no fan of much of the extreme social trends and fads on all fronts of the spectrum. I often buy equipment from other companies besides Apple if it suits my needs better. I am polite enough to spare you the off-topic whining of which you seem to specialize. You’d be a lot happier if you chose a more constructive way to deal with your endless disappointment with, apparently, everything Apple does.
