Apple Seeds Fifth Beta of iOS 11.4.1 to Developers and Public Beta Testers

[Scottsoapbox]

5 betas and still not final, what exactly has changed?

Bug. Fixes.

I have found 11.4.1 to be one of the most buggy late-stage betas from iOS I have seen (running an SE). I hope the fifth is better.

Fact. Betas have bugs.

Ty for playing

What's the rush? Chill out my dude 🙂

Battery life with WiFi! To save battery I turned off WiFi. For the first time ever, I have used up a good chunk of my data including rollover. Normally, my usage is < 1 GB/month. Today I'm running with WiFi enabled and I'm at 23% after roughly 8 hours of mostly standby.

Read, take a deep breath, then respond. Ask for clarification. No need to cast judgement.

I'm not using a beta. I'm on the GA release (or whatever it is called) of 11.4. I need 11.4.1 sooner rather than later.

Genuine question. With the release of iOS12 less than 3 months away,and with no device being left on 11 as it was announced all those that could run 11, could run 12, why do Apple continue to work on 11, rather than have all their software experts concentrate on 12?

I can understand it with watch OS4, as the original gen watch won’t get 5, but surely if Apple really wants to concentrate on reliability, shouldn’t they just concentrate on getting 12 as near perfect as possible?

You do realize that any internal bugfixes in iOS 11 code are probably being back- and forward-ported from iOS 12 at this point, right? i doubt there's an entire software team working on iOS 11. iOS 11 and 12 share the majority of the codebase, so 95% of bugfix effort on iOS 11 will also apply to 12.

Sorry you and others have had so many problems with iOS 11. For me, it’s worked really well on iPad, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPhone X. It’s added cool features that I’ve found really useful.

That said, I too am looking forward to 12 and Apple’s new focus on speed and stability.

I totally agree. iOS 11 is and has been great for me and I am a fairly over all power user. I think many people tend to whine too much.

Just put this release out of its misery and move on to 12. Let's pretend this nightmare of a release never existed.

IOS 11.4.1 or maybe 11.4.2 will be the best IOS release ever, in the history of IOS release. Just you wait.

In my case, with this beta5, the battery draining is worse than ever. Maybe even worse than the 11.4 release.
Those suffering from this issue might be better off installing the iOS12 current beta. I know I will give it a try...

So I had a moment and deleted my backup. I had the iOS 11 public beta profile on it. How can I get that back without trying to use the developer config profile?
