As usual, backup the iPhone or iPad to iCloud, iTunes, or to a Mac with Finder before beginning any software update.

  1. Open the “Settings” app on iPhone or iPad
  2. Go to “General”
  3. Choose “Software Update”
  4. Choose to “Download & Install” the iOS 14.1 or iPadOS 14.1 update
  5. iOS 14.1 download

The point release update should install relatively quickly, and as usual will reboot the device to complete installation.

Optionally, users can also update to iOS 14.1 and iPadOS 14.1 by using a computer, either with iTunes, or a Mac running Catalina, Big Sur, or later with Finder. This obviously requires connecting the device to the computer via a USB cable.

Finally, advanced users can update their devices with IPSW firmware files, using the links below to apply the firmware updates via Finder or iTunes.

    The BIGGEST problem ‘extremely rapid battery drainage’ has still not been addressed yet. The complaint of tens of thousands of users

    • JohnIL says:

      It’s really bad on my 7th gen iPad only a few months old. Wasn’t happening with IOS 13 up to 13.7 release. Used to charge overnight and good for a day, now charging in afternoon as well. That is a significant loss of battery life with this release. As usually Apple is hush on this even as so many are complaining.
