**Apple Confirms iOS 11.4 Release with Education-Focused Features**
In a recent press release on their official website, Apple confirmed that they will be releasing iOS 11.4, a point update to their current operating system. According to the article, this new update is specifically designed for education apps and comes with a powerful new iPad app called School Work. The Class Kit framework, which is set to be released in iOS 11.4, works seamlessly with this new app, offering educators a more efficient and effective way to manage their classroom activities.
**iOS 11.4 Beta Testing Expected**
Interestingly, Apple has announced that iOS 11.4 will undergo beta testing before its official release. This means that users can expect to see the beta version of the update soon, possibly even on the same day or within a week of its final release. The fact that beta testing is expected suggests that Apple is taking a cautious approach to ensure that the final product meets their high standards.
**No Major Features Expected**
Given that iOS 11.4 seems to be focused primarily on education and the Class Kit framework, it's likely that we won't see many new features in this update. However, as with any software release, Apple may still include some minor updates and bug fixes to improve overall performance and stability.
**Messages in iCloud Still a Possibility**
One feature that has been missing from recent iOS updates is Messages in iCloud. Although it was included in the latest beta of iOS 11.3 (beta 6), its status remains uncertain. Fingers crossed that this feature will return with iOS 11.4, or even be reintroduced with iOS 11.3.
**Release Date Uncertain**
As for when we can expect the first beta of iOS 11.4, nobody knows at this point. However, it's likely that Apple will release the beta version after the final release of iOS 11.3, possibly on the same day or just within a week.
**iOS 12 Release Date Looms**
With WWDC 2018 scheduled to take place around June 4th, it's clear that iOS 12 is just around the corner. As we approach this release date, we can expect more information about the new features and improvements that Apple has in store for us.
**New iPad Released with Apple Pencil Support**
In a recent press event, Apple released a new 9.7-inch iPad that supports the Apple Pencil. While this device will likely receive the iOS 11.3 update first, it's clear that Apple is investing heavily in education and productivity tools with this new release.
**Current State of iOS 11.3**
As we approach the final release of iOS 11.3, users are eagerly waiting for their iPhones or iPads to be updated. The current sixth beta (15E5) has been available for two weeks now, but a general public release has yet to materialize. Rumors suggest that Apple may be struggling with AirPlay, which was removed in beta 3 and never returned.
**Conclusion**
In conclusion, iOS 11.4 seems to be shaping up as an update focused primarily on education and the Class Kit framework. While we won't see many new features, minor updates and bug fixes are likely to be included. We'll have to wait and see what the final release holds, but with iOS 12 just around the corner, it's clear that Apple has big plans for the future of their operating system.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys my name is Brandon and today we're gonna be talking about iOS 11 point for the March media event and also when we can expect iOS 11.3 to finally be released so Apple just held their March media event yesterday on March 27th and after this event pretty much everybody expected to see the final release of iOS 11.3 I talked about that lot on the channel after going through all the betas we'd probably expect it on the 27th at the event but we did not get iOS 11.3 we didn't get a new beta we don't get the photo release we didn't get anything however Apple did reveal that we're gonna be seeing in iOS 11.4 pretty soon so you can see here the Apple did confirm iOS 11.4 in this article on the press section of their site where they have an article here on classic it for education apps and in the first sentence it says the class kit framework coming in iOS 11.4 works with a powerful new iPad app called school work blah blah blah so you can see right there it clearly says iOS 11.4 if we click on learn more about class kit and if I scroll all the way down to the very bottom you can see that it says iOS eleven point four beta so it looks like iOS eleven point four will be going through the beta stages as well it's not gonna be just one of those point releases that just gets released publicly just out of nowhere without any beta testing so it's look like we are going to have beta testing for iOS eleven point four and that should be out pretty soon now iOS eleven point four is a pretty big surprise since iOS 9 or iOS 10 did not have a point four update we really didn't have any kind of hints at all of an iOS eleven point four coming especially since iOS eleven point three still isn't released for everyone just yet now I wouldn't expect too much in terms of features with iOS eleven point four since it seems that the main focus is just going to be related to education and the new class kit framework so you know most of you guys aren't really gonna care about that kind of thing so I would really expect too many new features with eleven point four but of course we will see some UI enhancements and some just minor features and bug fixes now one thing I hope we do get is messages in iCloud we still do not have message in iCloud back in iOS eleven point three the latest beta beta 6 so hopefully that does come back with iOS eleven point four if not even iOS eleven point three the final release if they do happen to do that now as for when we can expect the first beta of iOS eleven point four nobody really knows at this point it's likely going to be released after iOS eleven point three and it could even be on the same day or the week of iOS eleven point three getting released since Apple has been doing that a lot lately now keep in mind that we will also be getting iOS twelve on or around June 4th when WWDC 2018 kicks off so that means that we should definitely see iOS 11.4 within the next couple months and it's most likely gonna be out sooner than that now the only other important thing revealed at the March media event was a new nine point seven inch iPad that will now support the Apple pencil so now what's going on with iOS eleven point three so you can see here we're currently on the sixth beta which is 15 e 5 2 1 6 a that is the build number of the 6th developer beta of iOS eleven point three what's going on we've been sitting here at the 6 beta for two weeks now with no GM release in sight now just earlier today Apple did release iOS eleven point three for the new iPad that was just released but it was only released for that device no iPhones or other iPads got the firmware update for iOS eleven point three now one possibility that I've seen others talk about is that Apple could be having trouble with airplay - which was removed in beta 3 and it never returned so this could be an obstacle to Apple's facing or there just could be other miscellaneous bugs that they're dealing with and it's taking more time than expected as for the final release of iOS eleven point three I would expect it to be released next week but of course who really knows with Apple these days and once again we could even see iOS eleven point four beta on the same day or just within the same week which could be next week but anyways guys that's pretty much it for this video I just wanted to talk to you guys about iOS eleven point three and also iOS eleven point four kind of just keep you guys updated on everything going on with these software releases I know I haven't been making a lot of videos lately but don't worry I am going to start getting back in the routine of things to be so much we're post I don't know exactly why I was not making video so if you don't know
