Apple releases Safari 14.1.2 and HomePod/mini 14.7 software update

This update is designed to match the just-released iOS 14.7 version.

Safari 14.1.2 should include important security fixes, but Apple has not outlined the content of this update. Apple Safari updates are usually launched together with the latest updates of the current version of macOS and the old security updates, but the Safari 14.1.2 update is provided separately, and Apple has not released macOS Big Sur 11.5. Users can download Safari updates through the software update section in the system preferences.

According to the official update instructions, the 14.7 update allows users to manage timers directly from the Home App on iPhone and iPad. Apple said that the 14.7 update also includes general performance and stability improvements.

The sudden failure of the previous version 14.6 HomePod may be caused by heat after the previous 14.6 updates. It is not clear whether 14.7 fixes this problem. The HomePod software will be automatically installed on the HomePod, and you can also install it manually in the Home App of the iPhone and iPad.
