While Apple's YouTube channel is primarily a lot of marketing for products and such, sometimes the company takes the time to talk about something else. Like a feature baked into the latest update to iOS 14, for instance.
After a considerable delay, Apple has finally released its "controversial" App Tracking Transparency (ATT) feature to the wild, alongside the launch of iOS 14.5 earlier today. And now, just in time, Apple's Craig Federighi has some comments on the matter.
Apple has been working on the next update for iPhone and iPad for quite some time, seeding more than half dozen betas in the process. But now iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5 are now live.
