Apple has released the final version of iOS 14.7 for iPhone users. The software update includes bug fixes and some minor improvements, most notably allowing MagSafe Battery Pack support for the iPhone 12 lineup.
iPadOS 14.7 is not yet available for iPad but presumably will be issued soon as well. However, watchOS 7.6 for Apple Watch, tvOS 14.7 for Apple TV, and a HomePod update are available. macOS Big Sur 11.5 remains in beta and a second release candidate build has been released for that.
Update: iPadOS 14.7 and macOS Big Sur 11.5 are now available as of July 21, 2021.
