A member of the media inspects the new iPhone 6 during an Apple special event at the Flint Center for the Performing Arts on September 9, 2014 in Cupertino, California. Apple unveiled the Apple Watch wearable tech and two new iPhones, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

According to GottaBe Mobile's latest report, the latest iOS 14.1 is the first iOS 14 milestone upgrade. The software provides new features and fixes for some of Apple's latest operating system's initial issues.

However, iOS 14.1 is still a relatively small release of the company. Although it could have a huge impact on iPhone XR, it still received negative comments.

For example, downloading iOS 14.1 requires a large memory of your device if it is currently running Apple's iOS 14.0.1 software. Also, if you're using an older version of iOS, the latest system will require larger download memory.

Although there are a few negative comments, iOS 14.1 can still offer incredible features that you can take advantage of. You can enjoy all of its features using Checkra1n.
