Apple’s pushed a new iOS upgrade to iPhone users and iOS 14.8 is available to download right now if you own a device that’s compatible with the company’s current operating system.
Like iOS 14.7.1 before it, iOS 14.8 is a tiny upgrade with a very small list of changes. It has two important security patches on board.
If your iPhone is currently running iOS 14.7.1, you get the shortest change log and the smallest download. If you’re moving from an older version of iOS, your iOS 14.8 update will be more substantial. That’s because the changes from the iOS updates you skipped are baked into your upgrade.
iOS 14.8 is an important upgrade and most of you should install it in the near future. That said, it’s difficult to predict how new software will impact your iPhone’s performance.
While some of you could see a boost to your iPhone’s performance, others will run into frustrating bugs and performance issues. This is why it’s important to do some prep work before you start the installation. A little work ahead of time could help you avoid serious problems.

If you notice bugs or performance issues on iOS 14.8, note that you can downgrade your iPhone’s software in an attempt to improve its performance. The company is currently signing on iOS 14.7.1.
Unfortunately, Apple has stopped signing on iOS 14.7 and older versions of iOS which means you can’t move your phone back to those versions of iOS.
So if you’re having a good experience on iOS 14.7, or an older version of iOS, moving your phone to iOS 14.8 is a big deal. Once you make the move, there’s no going back.
With that in mind, we want to help you prepare for the transition from your current version of iOS to iOS 14.8. We always recommend spending 30 minutes, or more, preparing yourself and your device for the move.
If you don’t have that kind of time, at least make sure your files are backed up properly.

Some of you will want to backup using Apple’s iCloud service. It’s an easy way to ensure your important files are safe. If you’re unfamiliar with the iCloud backup process, you’ll want to check out Apple’s guide. If you don’t want to use iCloud, you can backup your files using iTunes. If you’re running macOS Big Sur or macOS Catalina, you’ll need to use Finder, not iTunes. If you store a lot of data on your iPhone, the backup process could take awhile to complete so remain patient. |
