Ask HN: Did Apple silently remove the option to stay on iOS 14?

2 pointslgvln1 comment

I noticed that the Software Updates page has changed recently (probably within the last week or so).

Previously, it would say iOS 14.8.1 is the latest and there are no updates available, with a banner near the bottom to upgrade to iOS 15.

As of now, all that is gone. It has been replaced with a page to update to iOS 15.1 as if it was a regular update.

So my question is, is Apple planning to remove the option to stay on iOS 14 or are they simply trying to drive up the adoption rate of iOS 15?
