Apple Seeds First iOS 8.4.1 Beta to Developers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the first beta of iOS 8.4.1 to registered developers for testing purposes, just two weeks after releasing iOS 8.4 with the new Apple Music service to the public. With iOS 9 already in the works and on track for a fall release, iOS 8.4.1 will likely be the last significant update to iOS 8.

Today's beta, build number 12H304, can be downloaded from the Apple Developer Center.

It is not yet clear what changes will be introduced with iOS 8.4.1, but as with past betas, it's likely to include bug fixes, performance enhancements, and minor tweaks to the operating system. We'll update this post with any new features or tweaks that are found within the new update.

iOS 8.4.1 follows on the heels of iOS 8.4, which introduced an entirely revamped Music app along with the new Apple Music service and the Beats 1 radio station. Aside from music updates, iOS 8.4 included only minor changes to iOS 8.

Did they ever send a x.x.1 version as beta to developers before?

PLEASE A FIX FOR MY BATTERY LIFE... Since iOS 8.4, my battery is draining so bad on my iPhone 6.

8.4.1 turns to 8.5 in the article.

 

[MattMJB0188]

Good. Hopefully they'll fix the lag on the iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 when scrolling between home pages.

Wow, I was near 100% this morning...now 35%... Me too! Battery life is abysmal

Let's hope for a UI overhaul in Apple Music.

Woah. Didn't see that coming.

in a x.x.1 release? more than unlikely

 

[Dwalls90]

... This was released for one reason only:

To kill the 8.4 Jailbreak.

 

[AppleFan91]

Probably to add some fixes to Apple music and add the "High Quality over Cellular" toggle for HQ music that's in iOS 9.

Is Apple trying to achieve some kind of record with supplemental updates for iOS 8? Dang! Oh well, more updates are better than fewer updates.

came to ask about 8.5, but see they fixed it already.

Anyway, happily testing and crashing in iOS9 at the moment.

What's the point?

We generally get these posts ready to go ahead of time so we can let you guys know about the betas as soon as possible. In this case, I expected iOS 8.5, not iOS 8.4.1. Had an itchy trigger finger and hit post before I finished updating it for 8.4.1. Sorry about that, I updated within 30 seconds but you guys are quick.

They already did in 8.4, did they?

What's so bad about 8.4? 9 is out in a couple of months!!

Battery life in the iOS 9 public beta seems better than when I was on 8.4. Don't worry, there's obviously a battery saving updating coming!

Did you have any pdf's in iBooks? If so did iOS 9 wipe them out? (Did to mine). If so, did you find a way to get them back?

*Wiped all from my iPhone 6, wiped none from my el capitan Mac, wiped all but one from my iOS 8.4 iPad air 2. (I begin to wonder if by not going to iOS 9 public beta on my iPad has blocked iBooks from syncing all the pdf's back from the Mac.)

Wow, I am either lucky or I am doing something terribly right. My battery lasts me an easy 30 hours and that is with music playing ~4 hours a day, ~150 texts sent and received, ~500 emails received and ~50 sent and with like two - 4 devices pair to it including the apple watch.
