This phrase refers to the range of Apple devices, specifically iPhones, iPod Touches, and iPads, that are compatible with the iOS 14 operating system. The compatibility determines whether a user can install and run iOS 14 on their device. For example, iPhone 6s and later models, iPad Air 2 and later models, iPad mini 4 and later models, and iPod touch (7th generation) are part of this group.
The ability to update to iOS 14 provided users with access to numerous new features and security enhancements. This included redesigned widgets on the home screen, an App Library for improved organization, enhanced privacy features, and improvements to core applications like Messages and Safari. Maintaining compatibility across a range of devices extends the lifespan of hardware, allowing users to benefit from the latest software innovations without necessarily requiring a new device purchase. This also contributes to a more secure and consistent user experience across the Apple ecosystem.
