iOS 16.4 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[uandme72]

is there no update for watchOS ?

 

[GBstoic]

The build number is 1 higher than the RC.

So that means all the show stopping bugs of betas 2, 3, 4, and the RC are still in it.

Could you elucidate please? My show didn’t stop once during the beta cycle.

Looks like you've taken your helmet off though 😬

He’s swam in the IPSW Waters, though. He has been redeemed.

Must be the same build as the RC, I’m not seeing anything, either.

I was asking if there's a way to update an iPhone on a Mac with IPSW without doing a backup

Why would you do anything without backing up? Dangerous game that.

But yes. download the IPSW file and connect your device to your Mac. Hold option down then select "check for update" button, select the IPSW file and it will update.

No update for iPadOS from RC build of last week.

watchOS 9.4 final is build 20T253, same as RC.

iPadOS 16.4 final is build 20E246, same as RC.

iOS 16.4 final is build 20E247, one build up from RC.

Just checked on my wife’s devices, that are not on the beta train and compared to mine, witch in fact are.

Well.. my mac has 256gb of storage and my iPhone 512 🤷🏼‍♂️

How do you install this new build (20E247) if I already installed the RC build (20E246)? Can it be done OTA or do I have to download the IPSW and update thru the Mac? Thanks.

 

[scjr]

Did they not release an updated iPad OS (16.4 RC vs final)?

I see the update for my iPhone, but not for my iPad?

Edit: All good. I just read the post by @Cobold confirming the build numbers. 👍🏼

Remove the beta profile and reboot.

Beta profiles removed automatically when you updated to the RC

[sbailey4]

Hmm anyone loose the beta updates options after switching off and installing this build? I mean other than me 😳

[Edit] interesting, switching off “download iOS updates “ brought it back. Now can also switch it back on and option stays available.

Um…. Mine didn’t. I mean I can still choose between the normal, dev beta, and public beta.

 

[Paddle1]

I still had the beta profile on the RC but it's gone in final. Blank screen I had when launching apps is fixed.

...now begins my cycle of refreshing this thread for days, to track battery reports.

 

[LockOn2B]

Erm... the blue progress bar is gone for me
