Apple has confirmed that we're just a few days away now from the arrival of a huge mobile software upgrade in the form of iOS 14.5, which has been hotly anticipated for months now and which stands to potentially dramatically reshape the business of companies like Facebook. That is to say, companies that are heavily reliant on tracking users, a practice this new software upgrade should sharply curtail.
According to Apple, all app developers must start following Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework starting Monday, April 26. That framework, remember, requires developers to get explicit permission from users if those developers want to track those users and their activity across apps. This would seem to put the iOS 14.5 release date on Monday, or (if the ATT framework needs to be firmly in place first) on Tuesday at the latest, as far as when we'd see the software upgrade released.
