As for the 14.5 updates for its mobile devices, several features are added such as it would be a minimum requirement for the new AIrTag accessory to work with your iPhone or iPad. An Items tab has already been added in the Find My app which will be the new iteration paving way for the redesigned Podcasts app.
There are other features that have been added like you can unlock your iPhone using Face ID even if you are wearing a facemask and also works with an Apple Watch. The Music app is also updated with swipe gestures and lyrics sharing. Other added updates include AirPlay 2 support for Fitness+ workouts, Waze-like reporting features in Apple Maps, PS5 and Xbox Series X controllers support, and even maybe support for the new Apple Card Family.
