It’s called “under the hood” improvements. Cleaning up code. Setting up code for future updates. According to sunny, there is an Apple Pay update in here. The update really isn’t that big. These are for minor bug fixes and that’s it. Nothing major. X.x builds are for more system changes and performance.
Who said I was expecting a “major change”? I said I wanted optimization and stability improvement and that is why I’m looking forward to this update.
I didn’t say I wanted noticeable changes so don’t put words in my mouth, you’re making it sound like I wanted “visual” changes and new features added. I said I want optimization and stability improvement because in my opinion 11.2.2 is not as stable as it should be. My brother also has an iPhone X and is running 11.2.2 and he doesn’t have a very seamless experience either due to the current version or iOS which IS buggy and not properly optimized.
Yeah and our buddy @dan9700, who has been pretty vocal on iOS 11 and the iPX says that 11.2.5 has been quite a bit better on his X as far as lag and stutter goes and so have a few others here. So certainly after 7 betas it should be some better as far as stability and optimization. Seems others are reporting better battery life as well, which could be simply due to removing the beta logging and code from the GM or due to better optimization or both.
Well in fairness, most iOS updates are that way for me including the betas. There have been a few here and there but for the most part not a lot of difference with battery life for me. Stability and smoothness is another subject tho. There have been definite improvements there over the course of the iOS 11 series of updates.
