Has anyone found a quick and easy way to identify iOS 14 compatible devices due to iOS 14.4 security patch required to be applied.

As only certain models can upgrade to iOS 14, rather than listing out all models that can in a compliance policy query in UEM platform and if not on iOS 14.4 then we need to target these devices.

API documentation is here:

Here is a simple way of getting this data via powershell

$IosVersion = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter iOS Version"
$ApiURL = "https://api.ipsw.me/v4/ipsw/"
$InvokeURL = $ApiURL + $IosVersion
$data = Invoke-RestMethod -method GET -uri $InvokeURL
foreach ($device in $data) {
    $Hardwarename = Invoke-RestMethod -method GET -uri "https://api.ipsw.me/v4/device/$($device.identifier)"
    Write-Host "$($hardwarename.name)"
}
