Although it may be tempting to update your iPhone or iPad to the latest software offered by Apple, experts advise against updating your devices to iOS 14.5 at this time to avoid potential issues that may arise unexpectedly. Here are two main reasons to wait before updating your devices to iOS 14.5, according to the website "CNET":
1. **Device Malfunction**
Some iOS updates have completely bricked iPhones and iPads. For example, an update in 2016 rendered the iPad Pro unusable, and another update that same year caused some iPhones to stop working entirely. Therefore, experts recommend waiting a week after the update becomes available before installing it, as issues typically surface in the early days of an update. This often prompts Apple to either withdraw the update or release a second version with bug fixes.
2. **App Issues**
A common problem you may encounter with any new software update is applications that are not yet optimized by developers. According to experts, operating system updates can sometimes disable an app completely. Therefore, it is advisable to wait a few days to ensure no app-related problems emerge.
