Apple recently seeded the developer demo for iOS 14.2 and iPadOS 14.2, seemingly skipping over iOS 14.1 and iPadOS 14.1. While we're not sure of the reason for the nomenclature change, iPadOS and iOS 14.2 both introduce minor updates, chief of which is better Shazam integration for music aficionados.

Could be to appease the Chinese as they consider 141 to be highly unlucky.
Between the surprise / no fanfare release of iOS 14 and skipping over 14.1 and numbering to 14.2, you can tell that their software engineering management is no longer "engineering". And as iOS 14 was nearly 5GB when it downloaded to my iPhone, forcing my iPhone to remove apps to make room for it to just load, it has become morbidly obese. My 128K Mac still boots faster from floppy disk. I miss Apple Computer.

I don't think it has something to do with Chinese, only the 4 is considered "unlucky", but majority of Chinese are atheists, they don't really care.
