5-Year Anniversary
Where have I been the past year? An explanation for my hiatus.
Apple released iOS 14.8 just days before iOS 15 and here’s why
Apple just released iOS 14.8, which comes as a surprise considering we're expecting iOS 15 any day now. Since iOS 6, Apple released every new version of iOS in mid-September, and we expect no different this year. So, why release iOS 14.8 on September 13th? What's even more interesting is, [...]
