What's Up Guys: A Deep Dive into iOS 11.4.1 Beta 1

Hey guys, it's Brandon here and I've got some news that's going to surprise you - Apple just dropped the latest beta of iOS 11.4.1, just one day after releasing the final public version of iOS 11.4. Let's take a closer look at this firmware and see what new features or changes we can spot.

As we can see from the update, it came in at build number 15G5-504C on my iPhone 8 Plus. This build number is quite long, but that's not surprising given that we're dealing with a point release like iOS 11.4.1. The update comes from the GM (General) build of iOS 11.4, and as we all know, the size of this update can vary depending on which version you're running it on and which device you're using. So, if you're wondering how to check your build number, go to Settings > General > About, and you'll see that number appear.

Now, I have to say, I'm a bit surprised that we even got a beta phase for this point release like iOS 11.4.1. You see, point releases are usually just bug fixes and minor tweaks, so it's not exactly what you'd expect from an Apple update. And yet, here we are, with a beta cycle that seemed to come out of nowhere. I'm actually really surprised that we even made it this far with a beta phase, considering how unexpected the whole thing was. Of course, there might be another beta released after this one, but for now, let's focus on what we can spot in terms of new features or changes.

One notable change is the return of the Feedback Application. Yes, you heard that right - it's back! I'm not sure why Apple decided to bring this feature back, as it was already available in iOS 11.3 and earlier, but there you have it. So, if you're interested in testing out this feature, go ahead and give it a shot.

Moving on to the new bug that I wanted to point out. If we scroll down to Notifications > FaceTime Banners and try to toggle them on or off, you'll notice that the Settings app crashes. Now, I know what you're thinking - "Brandon, why is this still happening?" Well, it's just a minor issue, but one that Apple might want to address in future updates.

As for performance, it feels pretty much the same as iOS 11.4 right now. Some people have reported that eleven point four point one feels slightly smoother and has quicker animations, but I'm not entirely convinced by these claims yet. It's still too early to tell, and we need more data before we can say for sure whether this update is making a real difference.

So, why is Apple putting out a beta like iOS 11.4.1? Well, one reason might be that they're trying to identify any remaining bugs or issues with the feature set. You see, point releases are usually just bug fixes and minor tweaks, but sometimes there can be more complex problems lurking beneath the surface. By releasing this update as a beta, Apple might be able to catch those issues before they become major problems down the line.

Of course, another reason for the beta release is that it gives Apple's development team an opportunity to test out some new features or changes without affecting the final public version of iOS 11.4. It's not uncommon for Apple to hold back certain features or updates until they're ready for prime time, and this beta might be just one way for them to do so.

Whatever the reason, we can expect more information about iOS 11.4.1 as we get closer to its official release. For now, though, it seems like this update is mostly all about bug fixes and minor enhancements. If you're curious about what's new in this version of iOS, go ahead and check out the beta yourself - just be sure to backup your device first!

Do you guys think that iOS 11.4.1 is worth checking out? Let us know in the comments below! And if you do plan on jailbreaking your device, don't update yet - we've got a jailbreak update coming soon, so stay tuned for that.

That's it for now, folks. As always, thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys my name is Brandon and Apple continues that their curve balls at us and I hit us with another one today with the release of iOS eleven point four point one beta one just one day after dropped Niq final public release of iOS eleven point four let's take a look at this firmware and see what's new if anything at all so as you can see here the update came in at 298 point is here on my iPhone 8 plus this one they come from the GM build of iOS eleven point four of course that size is going to depend on which version it came from and also which device you are running the beta on so it's gonna check out the build number very quickly for this first bit up go to Settings General about you can see it's 15 G 5 0 5 4 C so it is a long build number of course however I would not really expect too many betas for this point release because it really was kind of unexpected to begin with and I'm actually really surprised that we even went through a beta phase that's even a beta software so I wouldn't expect too many betas but of course there does seem to be another one after this one we do also have the feedback application back here now as well so anyways let's talk about the new features or changes here in eleven point four point one if there are any at all and really the only change like I said was the feedback application that's back now and there is also a new bug that I'll be showing you here in a second and I mean such a small point release like an eleven point four point one you really should not expect too many new features at all but the point released like this Apple really never does that this update is mostly all about bug security and performance enhancement so again don't really expect many new features at all in this point release even throughout all the betas so let me go and show you that bug that I was talking about so if you go back to settings and go to notifications if we good scroll down to face time if it Gooden tried to toggle on or off show as banners you'll notice that the settings application crashes so as you can see right there if I toggle it off now it will crash if we go back in notifications go down to face time toggle on and then off again you can see that it crashes the settings application so just a very small bug here at eleven point four point one but hopefully that does get fixed within the next few betas now as far as the performance goes that feels about the same as iOS eleven point four right now I have seen some people say that eleven point four point one feels a little bit smoother and the animations are a little bit quicker but it's still way too early to tell in my opinion and once again I really don't see why this is being put in beta it seems like it would make a lot more sense to just be a public release without beta testing but Apple does know they're doing we don't really know everything so yeah we did think the iOS 11.4 was gonna be the last iOS released before iOS 12 but now it appears that iOS eleven point four point one is gonna be the final iOS release before iOS 12 so yeah let me know what you guys think about iOS eleven point four point one down in the comment section below of course do not update if you plan on jailbreaking I do have a jailbreak update video coming later tonight as well so stay tuned for that but anyways guys that was a quick look at Iowa's eleven point four point one if you enjoyed it make sure hit that like button also make sure to subscribe for a lot more iOS release videos so thanks again for watching guys and
