I'm guessing the 12.1.2 beta will get a version bump as they have released a different software version as 12.1.2..
It sounds like this might be an update on top of the 12.1.1 codebase and whatever was released as 12.1.2 beta is still something that's in beta and perhaps will now be labeled as something like 12.1.3 when newer betas come out.
Ahh. Got it. I was thinking it was the letter that increased, not the number following the letter for each version.
You have a more recent build than the one they just released. Don't believe the version number.
Interesting. Modem firmware downgrade from the beta to 1.02.18 but carrier version 35.0 for T-Mobile on my Max

Nope. But an article about the update on macrumors does say this is an iphone only update. And likely it’s only for this year’s iphones. Can anyone confirm on this?
It's there for older phones as well, like iPhone 7, for example (probably because in addition to the actually emphasized changes there are additional ones relating to the recent Qualcomm patent infringement ruling).
Basically it's not an update to the beta version (12.1.2), but an update to the public version (12.1.1). It sounds like the beta will need to get updated/relabeled as something like 12.1.3.
This build is using the same kernel and modern firmware in iOS 12.1.1 and not the updated kernel or modem firmware in the beta.

Just bug fixes with eSIM and connectivity. No security fix.

Two ways. Using recovery mode on iPhone with iTunes to “Update” or get the IPSW to update using iTunes.

Or wait till the next beta. Apple may need to release an iOS beta soon to catch up with the other betas.

thanks. That’s a lot of work to save the backup and restore then having to tweak each app again individually to my settings.

Nope. Don’t “restore” just “update” and you’ll retain all your data. You will get an update and restore option in recovery mode. DFU mode on the other hand will only give restore option. Back up in case too while using iTunes.
Smooth sailing so far, but not reason why it wouldn't be. Verizon iPhone X. Also, the update was so small it didn't get a chance to show me how big the update was.
I’m suspecting this is an incremental update to the 12.1.1 released last week, and beta 1 of 12.1.2 will become 12.1.3 beta 2. Would be a first, but odd that firmware, carrier versions, and build numbers don’t line up with the beta version of 12.1.2.
