Apple has yesterdaystopped signing iOS 14.7.1. This means that for iPhone and iPad users running earlier than iOS 14.7.1 and iPadOS 14.7.1 respectively, it is not possible to update to iOS 14.7.1 and iPadOS 14.7 .1.
Only versions 14.8 and 15 of iOS and iPadOS are currently available for compatible devices. Those who cannot download the latest version of Apple's mobile OS, released yesterday, must turn to iOS 14.8 and iPadOS 14.8available since last week. Others are encouraged to install iOS 15 or iPadOS 15.See here how to do it.

The end of support for iOS 14.7.2 also means that it is no longerno longer possible to return to it if you have installed a more recent version.
This procedure for abandoning old versions of iOS is classic at Apple. It allows iPhone and iPad users to be pushed to the most recent software versions and thus improve the security of the fleet of Apple-branded mobile devices.
And this is a subject that is all the more critical since in recent weeks, we have learned of the existence of two extremely powerful spyware programs, taking advantage of iOS vulnerabilities and which have made it possible to monitor many iPhone users against their will. in the past. The two malware in question,PegasusetKarma, would no longer work with the latest iOS 14.8 and iOS 15 updates normally.
Unfortunately, pirates are often one step ahead... We can only hope that their work is made more and more difficult by Apple, and therefore more and more costly in money and time.
