The difference between updates and patches seems to be that updates change the version number on the about dialog and patches don't. If installed via GetIt, patches are listed in the registry and will be shown in the about dialog as an additional information, but that does not happen if you don't use GetIt for the installation. Both can switch some executables, which then will get a new version number, but you have to know for which executables to look to see that difference. I have code in GExperts that identifies the current update and patch level in case some workaround or fix is necessary. I thought about making a small stand alone tool from this, but never came around doing it. That code is in https://sourceforge.net/p/gexperts/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/Source/Framework/GX_GetIdeVersion.pas In case anybody is interested.

It sure seems like there should be but I can't find it. I think the Wikipedia page has a pretty good overview of the version history but it's unofficial, of course. I've got a list of several Delphi About screens of several versions of Delphi and your 12.1 build number matches the one I have installed. I've found that "patch" is often interchangeable with "update" when it comes to Delphi version numbers (although "update" seems more official and more often includes features while "patch" is more often used for bug fixes or missing files in the original installation).

It has been a few years since we last tried to use TeeChart Pro on iOS/FMX but it was horrible. Drawing issues, performance was abysmal and power consumption was also pretty bad. In case you have an active subscription, you can raise an issue with Steema. If not, you're probably better off using a WebView and a free Javascript charting library.
