Apple Closes Unlocked iPhone Loophole for T-Mobile and Verizon Financing

Carrier-financed iPhones purchased from Apple will soon be locked to the carrier, ending a workaround customers used to purchase an unlocked iPhone on a payment plan. Until the rule change, buying an iPhone from Apple and opting for financing through Verizon or T-Mobile meant you would get an iPhone not locked to either carrier's network.

With no new features I'm surprised they're calling it 14.7 and not 14.6.1 or whatever.

Really hopeful that the issues I’ve had with CarPlay since 14.5 dropped will be resolved. Buggy unfixable CarPlay makes me sad. :(
Might be just you. Or the head unit.

I don’t think Apple expects much from the public beta feedback giving no info what it contains or schedule info. I only do public betas if I think I want some feature or hope something is being fixed, since they never really give you any reason to take the risk otherwise. Only hope. On the other hand developers, almost have to test their apps regardless.
A thousand users can report an actual bug in a released OSX version in the official Apple Forums and Apple will just tell them all they’re imagining it.
