Also, a PSA for those who use the Bedtime feature. It's been moved from the Clock app to the Health app. And the upgrade wipes out your previously setup bedtime schedule. You have to add a new one. I'm really glad I checked before going to bed last night, otherwise I would've missed several meetings. 

Yeah, this was something talked about and discussed when iOS 14 Public Beta was made available.  See, that's the thing about new releases.  Unless you're a beta tester or have been reading everything going on with the new features and changes, you really should wait and not update your devices on day one. I'm the IT guy for my family and friends and I sent out an email blast yesterday telling them not to update their devices unless they checked with me first.  Less headaches for me!

Just wanted to chime in that I've had solid experiences so far with iOS 14 on my iPhones and iPads.  I was also a Public Beta tester from the beginning.  It's been a much better experience than iOS 13 which brought a lot of minor bugs and problems for me. The experience has been on par with iOS 12 which was a solid upgrade as well.

Haven't done my Apple Watch and Apple TVs yet.  They are next.

My devices:
iPhone 11 Pro Max
iPhone X
2018 iPad Pro (11" and 12")

A new iOS 14 privacy feature could potentially cause problems for enterprise or educational network and device management setups, Cisco warned on Thursday.

This is one of the reasons why Apple had beta's of the iOS available for developers, to ensure their software works with the latest OS......

Was thinking the same thing. Why are they just discovering this now?

IMO, iOS14 is an unmitigated disaster.

Thank goodness I just updated my secondary iPhone to check it out.
I'm an elderly sleeper and have to set my alarm accordingly, both for the night, and in the daytime.  Ha! The Alarm hnow has to be set using the Health app.  And the Health bases your sleep it on an 8-hour cycle. Changing wake and sleep times is a b***h. 

Also, it doesn't like my selection of an IMAP mail server, and keeps trying to steer me to one of its favorites. 

I've just turned OFF the automatic updates in both my primary iPhone and iPad. 


Am I nuts, or just plainly senile?

I don't think you're nuts or senile. If you haven't been a beta tester or reading about all the new features and changes, it can be confusing jumping in after an OS update.

If you previously used Apple's Sleep Monitoring (it was labeled as "Bedtime") in the Clock app, it has been moved to the Health app. You can still see your Sleep and Wake alarm at the very top of the Clock app but it takes you to the Sleep section of the Health app whenever you set alarms, make changes, and view data.  You are not limited to an 8-hour cycle. You can move the Bedtime and Wake Up sections of the dials independently to set your times. This was the same as in iOS 13. I'm looking at it right now on my main iPhone 11 Pro Max (13.6) and newly updated secondary iPhone X.

That said, setting regular alarms is still done in the Clock app as before. The interface has changed there where you now can use the numerical keypad to set the time OR if you keep your finger pressed on the time and scroll up/down, you can change the time similarly as before.

I'm not entirely sure what problem you're describing regarding IMAP mail server.  If you can provide more info, maybe I or someone else can help you.

I've updated my 2018 iPad Pros (11" & 12") and my iPhone X successfully and have not had any issues so far. I have been testing the Public Beta since it became available.  I'm waiting a few more days before I update my main iPhone 11 Pro Max.

Apple releases a bundle to attract more customers. Oh my God! It’s the end of Spotify were to greedy to lower or prices in competition!  

Given the state of Spotify profits, saying they are greedy would be pushing it... Most of their costs are licensing costs to the music industry (around 75%), so they're not free to lower it either.

Using a dominant position in one market to gain market share in another is usually considered bad - in particular, I guess bundling it with iCloud storage. If they just bundled it with AppleTV+ I don't think Spotify (or customers) would care.

Wait, so it's "bad" for Apple to offer me a bundled price for services I already have and use?

How is it different from Comcast offering Home Phone and Home Security services in their Triple Play packages?
