Apple Releases First Beta of iOS 11.2.5 for Public Beta Testers

[MacRumors]

Apple today released the first public beta of iOS 11.2.5 to its public beta testing group, one day after seeding the first beta to developers and also one day after releasing iOS 11.2.1, an update that addressed a HomeKit vulnerability.

Beta testers who are members of Apple's beta testing program will receive the iOS 11.2.5 beta update over-the-air after installing the proper certificate on an iOS device.

Those who want to join the beta testing program can sign up on Apple's beta testing website, which gives users access to iOS, macOS, and tvOS betas. iOS betas are not always stable and should not be installed on a primary device.

No new features were discovered in the first developer beta of iOS 11.2.5, so it's not entirely clear what new features this beta introduces.

It's possible it focuses primarily on security improvements and bug fixes, and if that's the case, we may not know the extent of what's in the update until it sees a public release complete with detailed release notes.

Will “dark mode” stay as a “smart invert” forever??
Ir Will it became a real dark mode without that strange kind of colour??

"smart invert" isn't meant to be dark mode even if people try to use it as such.

For me certenly not... but people insit that it is a dark mode... i would realy want to se a dark mode... it would help to improve battery life

Only on the X so far, and potentially only marginally too. That said, I wouldn't mind seeing it become available.

Is Apple just randomly picking version numbers???

But i think Apple wont make it avaliable... there was a time that everyone thought Apple would bring a “dark mode”... but insted of a real dark mode, Apple gave us a smart invert, and i thik that Will be it... and a realy hope to be wrong...

Looks like it does NOT fix the iMessages out of order bug.

I noticed that too. Error?

The missing build is exclusive to the iPhone 9.

Potentially they might have some smaller bug fixes/patches that are in the works or they thing might come up that might get launched before iOS 11.2.5 comes out.

Given their track record so far with iOS 11, I'd say the odds of this happening are pretty likely.

 

[audiomixer]

Will the photo sync via usb finally be fixed especially for IPad?

 

[einsteinbqat]

Installed dev beta yesterday. Very fast on iPhone SE.

Does your keyboard lag?

Yeah, I thought it was a typo myself. I’m curious why Apple decided to jump a few versions?
