I'm going to recommend that people who haven't upgraded to 14 not do so
just yet. It's not going to break your phone, but there are some huge
headaches you'll encounter with IOS 14. The one good thing about Apple
is that they usually get on this stuff pretty fast and start pushing out
fixes for it. So you'll be able to get 14 in a few weeks and have a much
better experience than others.

Hello List,
I want to caution others from avoiding the problem I'm experiencing
after calling Apple Accessibility to report an issue I was having with
iOS 14. I was checking out the setting under my name/Apple ID and when
I opened Media and purchases, I noticed that when swiping through the
various controls to check out the screen that focus kept jumping back
to the Apple ID control in the upper left of the screen. This was some
major jumping and occurred on several controls on that screen. Trying
to be a good citizen, I called Apple Accessibility to report the
issue. I spoke with someone named Willard who was nice enough but who
suggested I reset all my settings to factory defaults. I argued with
him that I had a lot of custom settings and wasn't comfortable doing
that but he said it was the first suggestion they gave after getting
contacted about problems following an iOS upgrade. Against my better
judgment, I reset all my settings. Here are some of the things that
were reset that will prevent me from ever doing that again:
1.All my Apple cash credit cards were removed.
2.My Touch ID was reset.
3.The accessibility setting for Voiceover with the home button was reset.
4.All my custom keyboards were removed.
5.My keyboard settings were changed from Touch typing to standard typing.
6.My default ringtone was reset.
7.The background color of my home screen was reset from a sea green to
something that appears to be sort of a red orange color.
8.Other custom settings I had made were reset that I can't recall.
I was able to puzzle out and reset most of the settings but could
never figure out how to reset the background color of my home screen.
I looked under display and screen settings and under Wallpaper but
found nothing. I then decided to restore my encrypted backup I made
with iTunes before upgrading to iOS 14. That took over an hour and now
all my phone does is that the Apple logo appears on a black screen as
it used to when doing a hard reset but it appears for a few seconds
and then disappears and then reappears again. The phone which is an SE
2020 will not restart and is no longer recognized when I plug it to
the lightning cable and open iTunes.
So the moral of this story is if you have an iOS 14 issue to report to
Apple Accessibility, don't let them convince you to reset your
settings. I've never had a problem with restoration of an iTunes
encrypted backup before but I guess my phone is out of commission
until I get to an Apple Store.
I did upgrade iTunes to its latest version before backing up before
upgrading to iOS 14. If anyone has any recommendations to try, I'd
truly welcome them because I need my phone before I'll be able to get
to an Apple Store.
