Apple Releases Second Beta of iOS 11.4 for Public Beta Testers

[f12003_ga]

So is 11.4 beta 2 public good to install over 11.3 on iPhone X ?

TIA

iMessage in iCloud will probably be pushed off til iOS 12 so they can force new iPhone purchases for those using iPhone 5S & 6 and possibly 7.

Fixes the photo sync issue between iPad and iTunes usb and WiFi with large photos libraries.

I would like Apple to return the wifi and bluetooth toggles in the control center back to on/off. Or, at the very least, allow a long press to achieve on/off. In my humble opinion the current functionality is no good.

How many hats have you eaten since iOS 1?

Maybe you meant iOS 11?

I'd love it if they got it together with devs for COPY/PASTE !

I only had 1-2 minutes to check this but my Airport Express was no longer discoverable in the Home app in Beta 2.

Happy participating in an alpha software testcycle

Wait but does this mean that they are trying to incorporate airport express connected speakers in the AirPlay 2 protocol? Streaming to multiple AirPlay Airport Express outputs from iOS device?

 

[fitshaced]

Excuse my ignorance but will Airplay 2 allow 4k airplay streaming from 2017 5k iMac to an Apple TV 4k?

Here you go

Thank You ! Now if anyone has a link to the one red flower on green blue background, that would be really cool.

How would that work? I'm not sure about the 5S but I can't see iOS 12 dropping support for the 6, 6s and 7 already. And iOS 12 is coming either way this fall. So how would that feature push people to upgrade their device when they have it on their old device anyway?

its funny that they're slowing down HomePod orders because they didnt sell as many as expected. meanwhile the actual software to make it work isn't ready yet and they are wondering "wow, didnt sell that many home pods?!"

They think everyone is so in love with apple products that end results don't matter. Only price tag matters.

+1 to you Danakin.....I absolutely hate and don't understand why the control panel settings don't actually turn wifi or bluetooth completely off.

On a separate note, anyone having issues with icloud messages working perfectly on the iPhone, however missing messages on an iPad? (I have both setup for iCloud Messaging)

I’ve got a couple myself. Eager to use them together.

Do we still have HomePod Stereo in this beta?

Apparently stereo requires 11.4 on the homepods - 11.3 being the current right now, we’re yet to still see stereo support

This build did something to my AirPods connectivity. It takes three or more times to connect them now.

Downloaded and installed it this morning on my 6 Plus, although the Geekbench 4 scores were lower then beta 1.

If AirPlay 2 and Messages on iCloud aren’t released with iOS 11.4, I’ll eat my hat.

put it on youtube, pleeeeeeease. wanna see this!

So Apple does keep a copy of your iMessage encryption keys then...

I really hope so. This has been frustrating as hell.
