Description:
Apple is apparently preparing to launch iOS 18.4.1 and fix a bunch of bugs found in iOS 18.4.

FULL STORY ======================================================================Code hints suggest that iOS 18.4.1 could launch within a week or two Its likely to contain bug fixes that address problems in iOS 18.4 iOS 18.5 is the next big release, which should land in May

Apples iOS 18.4 update has had its fair share of bugs, with little issues surfacing everywhere from CarPlay to users apps . Fortunately, it looks like Apple is about to launch an update that could fix a large number of problems for Apple fans.

According to MacRumors , Apple employees have begun testing the iOS 18.4.1 update, which suggests that it could be released in a week or two, if not sooner. So if you're struggling with one of the many reported minor issues, look out for an update in the coming days.

The earlier iOS 18.4 update made the news in recent weeks, and not all of the coverage has been positive. Weve seen how it might be causing peoples iPhones to download random apps without their knowledge, while scores of CarPlay
users have complained that iOS 18.4 has broken the in-car entertainment
system in their vehicles.

While we wont know for sure what iOS 18.4.1 will contain until it is
released, the .1 appended to the end of its version number suggests that it will be a minor tweak that addresses software bugs and issues. Minor updates like this dont get developer betas which might provide clues as to the content they contain but were hopeful that Apple has been able to address some of the problems users have been facing. iOS 18.5 is on the way (Image credit: Apple)

Looking further ahead, the next big software update coming to Apples iPhones iOS 18.5 is currently in beta testing and could arrive as soon as early May.

At the moment, though, it only seems to consist of two minor changes. The first contains a few adjustments to the Mail app, where you can now toggle
off contact photos and the Group by Sender feature directly from the
three-dot menu in the apps top-right corner. These settings existed in iOS 18.4 but were buried more deeply in the apps settings.

The other change in iOS 18.5 is even more minor. In the AppleCare section of the Settings app, Apple has added a banner at the top of the page with the AppleCare logo and a link to learn more about the warranty service. Apple has also added an AppleCare option on each devices page in the Apple Account section of the Settings app.

Hopefully, iOS 18.5 wont introduce new bugs in the way that iOS 18.4 seemed
to do, and we may yet see other features added. That said, we wouldnt call
iOS 18.4 a troublesome release there are actually a lot of great features to explore its still never fun to find out an update causes fresh issues with your phone.

With iOS 18.4.1 seemingly just around the corner, were hoping that the bugs get squashed once and for all.
