Apple Seeds First Beta of iOS 11.4 to Developers [Updated]

[DaveOP]

Messages in the cloud seems to be back, the settings appear on my iPad.

 

[justperry]

Well everyone with third party batteries I've asked said that it doesn't work. My dad has the original battery and it works. It worked with iFixit batteries in beta 2, but never again anymore. The page is empty and if my battery reaches 5%, it still slows my phone.

But you do understand what I meant, do you, afaik there are only terminals on the battery for supplying power and nothing more, if that's the case then I really don't understand how the iPhone knows it's a non Apple battery.

Installed and 'Messages in iCloud' is back. Build 15F5037c, iPhone X

 

[ACST]

How is the battery in this update?

Am I really the only one who never notices any massive battery differences in different beta versions?

 

[makingdots]

As always, Messages in iCloud will make a quick diva appearance and will be gone with the wind soon after

You guys will whine either way if it's released when it's obviously not ready yet.

"It just works!" blah blah blah

 

[kyleh22]

unless Apple plans to bring more anamogis I won't be downloading it.

Is this the update that fixes the auto rotation bug or is it too much for Apple to handle right now?

 

[mcfly88]

You guys will whine either way if it's released when they are obviously not ready yet.

You guys will defend no matter what... Apple messed up, this feature was announced almost a year ago. If it still needs this much work, they should have never announced it in the original iOS 11 keynote.

I understand you. I don't know how Apple can know that. Apps like Battery Life does show it.

Oh yeah, so original and funny. So many people are laughing.

 

[munpip214]

Not knowing what is in these is like App updates that only say "Bug Fixes". Really? Why not add a little more detail.

9to5 has a few notes listed

Because there is not any more detail. Beta's are just a way for Apple to keep the buzz up. The release notes for this release only list a few known problems, and none of them are the important know problems.

I wonder why people are not laughing hysterically at Apple with these Beta releases.

 

[withitnow]

Huh, how does the phone know if it's a third party battery, afaik there's nothing (like a chip) in the battery so if there's no feedback there's no way for the iPhone to know if it's an Original Apple battery or not.




Itunes?
Must be, mine was somewhere around 260 MB (iPhone 6S)

No, sorry, fresh beta install from public 11.3

 

[simonmet]

AirPlay 2 please.

If AirPlay 2 doesn’t fix constant streaming hiccups I’ll be investing in an alternative streamer. It used to just work!

 

[jaseyy88]

It’s been great so far. Lasts all day and night

Haha

 

[JonoH]

well well well HomePods can be paired into stereo pairs now

 

[az431]

How is the battery in this update?

48 hours and only down to 92%

But you do understand what I meant, do you, afaik there are only terminals on the battery for supplying power and nothing more, if that's the case then I really don't understand how the iPhone knows it's a non Apple battery.

That is what batteries used to be. Lithium Ion batteries now require a battery controller to be built in to the pack and it has electronics that tell the computer or iPhone it's pedigree, charge capabilities, etc.

Intel is tanking after Bloomberg reports Apple dumping Intel for their own Mac processors in 2020. The iOS/MacOS merge!

 

[spazzcat]

Battery should be always higher with beta versions.

 

[Razeus]

I'm writing off iOS 11 as a total loss.

It's ridiculous to have to sit through 6+ months of a messed up OS just to have a functional device, for which I regret paying $1,149.

Beautiful hardware doesn't mean jack when the OS is junk.

 

[jonnysods]

I patiently waited for iOS 11.3 / macOS 10.13.4 final builds to fix Messages.app displaying messages out of order.
Couple of days later, the same inconsistency creeps in again. This is iMessage people, one of the main 'advantages' of Apple - and it's never been at a worse state.

I'm at a place now, where I feel totally indifferent to iOS/macOS updates. All I see is inconsistency.

Ok that started happening to me today after having 11.3 for 3 days, and I was wondering what is going on.

I never have issues with streaming, check your network/internet.

Have fun on the other side, good luck even getting a bug fixed... I've had very little issues and I use the betas.

 

[justperry]

I understand you. I don't know how Apple can know that. Apps like Battery Life does show it.

What does it show, that it's a non OEM(Apple) battery.

That is what batteries used to be. Lithium Ion batteries now require a battery controller to be built in to the pack and it has electronics that tell the computer or iPhone it's pedigree, charge capabilities, etc.

Are you sure, I thought those electronics are outside of the battery pack, it would explain the issue of non Apple batteries.

So animojis is the new Apple watch bands joke? How original..
