iOS Update 14.5 has still not been released to the public as it is still quite buggy and unpolished. However, you can get the update if you have a registered developer account. Here are the steps you need to follow:

  • Head on to developer.apple.com on your Mac device.
  • Click on the Discover tab.
  • Find iOS at the top of your screen and download iOS 14.5
  • Log in with your Developer account credentials when asked to do so.
  • Restore the image on the device you wish to install it to. (We recommend making a backup before doing so.)

If you do not have a developer account, you are sadly out of luck. However, the update will be rolling out in the next few months anyways. So, you might just need to wait a bit longer.


Apple has quickly been solidifying their presence in the gaming market especially with the release of services of the Apple Arcade and the addition of DualSense 5 Controller support in iOS Update 14.5. Curious about what they’re going to do next? Stay tuned for all the info as soon as it comes out!
