iOS 14 Release Date
We don't have an official iOS 14 release date yet — Apple keeps that information pretty close to the vest. But going by past iOS releases, you can expect a final version of iOS 14 to arrive some time in the fall, about the same time that Apple takes the wraps off its new iPhones.

Apple always rocks in providing new features to its customers.
