It's not clear why Apple has released a new version of iOS 14.2, but it may include minor bug fixes, perhaps for installation issues. The updated software has a build number of 18B111, while the original release has a build number of 18B92.

The update will show up under General > Software Updates for new iPhone 12 owners who still have iOS 14.1 installed. New iPhone 12 models come with iOS 14.1.

Apple originally released iOS 14.2 on November 5, with the update adding new emoji characters, a Control Center Music Recognition toggle, new wallpapers, Intercom support, and more.

Does that include iPhone 12 Pro as well or just iPhone 12?

And why do you have a picture of iPhone 11?

I Don't know. Just strange its not available wirelessly.
Re-releases have never been made available wirelessly. This has happened a few times in the past and each always required the full iTunes installer.

On the Mac... download the IPSW from ipsw.me and copy it to ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates/

Open a Finder, Choose your phone OPTION + UPDATE and select the IPSW file.
