How To Update To iOS 14.7

If Automatic Updates are enabled on your iPhone, iOS 14.7 will be downloaded in the next couple of days. There’s always a delay after Apple releases a software update and your device’s ability to detect and auto-download it. That’s intentionally applied by the Cupertino-based tech giant, to avoid server downtime, caused by a large amount of users attempting to update in the same time.
