Wow. Big load o'nothingburger, feature-wise. Happy for our Canadian friends who will finally get News. But the remainder of the changes are adding some heartbeat info into Health. Woo ha!

So this seems to be to bring the iOS software in line with the recently announced TV hardware at CES. So this is probably setting the stage for the launch of Apple's TV service, which has been rumored for March-ish of this year. Makes sense. still disappointing. Guess anything meaningful, on-device, is going to have to wait til WWDC.

I'm getting an "Apple Pay requires an update on this iPhone" message on my 8+ after OTA. Never seen it before.

Yeah, so probably a lot going on behind the scenes in this update but not many new visible features.

Yeah absolutely! The final version of 12.0 carried a 16A366 build number. iOS 12.1 carried a build number of 16B92. So, iOS 12.0 was 366 builds old when released and 12.1 was 92 builds old. When you change the letter in the overall build number, it's considered a "service pack" update (to best explain it) to iOS 12.

12.0 had build numbers starting with 16A, 12.1 has 16B. They decided to have a beta period for 12.1.1 so that carried builds 16C. 12.1.2 was a hot fix, and it still had a 16C build number (meaning it is still part of the 12.1.1 family). 12.1.3 started with 16D build numbers.

Understood. That makes it much easier to understand. Thank you! :D
 
The Apple configurator release notes indicate that this is iOS 12.3. This leads me to believe that they intended to release this update as 12.3 but internal politics resulted in this being 12.2.
