[solodogg]

OTA just popped up...downloading now

 

[Bobout]

[Banglazed]

When I was updating to this build from the beta using iTunes, after it was all done on iTunes, it rebooted and I was prompted for passcode a second time to continue with the installation.

No issue here going from 12.1.3 to 12.1.4 using OTA update.

Modem firmware and T-Mobile carrier version remain same as 12.1.3.

 

[chillip]

Installed no issues here.

 

[yeahtyeaht]

The performance of Group FaceTime is quite a bit better in 12.1.4, but maybe that's just me.

And general performance through apps ? its snappier ?

Glad Apple’s getting on issues like this so quickly!!

I believe no one knew about that issue but Apple discovered it themselves after an audit on their FaceTime server

 

[Johnhimm]

Anyone load this without wiping coming from 12.2 B2?

Updating using iPSW on iTunes or put device into Recovery mode and "Update" to this firmware.

 

[cruppga]

would the face time update be included in the latest beta

Update on my iPhone XS Max went smoothly, 98 mb update. The only obvious change I noticed was when I was looking at the home screen, and noticed that the badges on the icons, especially for the mail app were moving. If you have a iPhone with face recognition, the numbers within the red circles move to follow your eyes. I thought I was hallucinating at first, but it's a pretty cool UI touch.

I don't see this. I did see something like this for about 4 hours when I was in Amsterdam last year lol.
