iOS 12.4 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Chazzle]

Haven’t found any changes yet, but I can say that everything feels as fast and stable as 12.3. Still early though, so I will report back.

Modem Firmware updated to 1.06.01 on iPhone Xs Max

Modem 1.06.01. iPhone XS.

I have zero qualms about installing this.

Same.

Still early, but everything feels smooth and snappy. No changes found yet.

 

[Enjoylife1788]

No major features detected yet?

Hahaha, did you try iOS 9.0 beta 1?

The device I installed it on got so hot even sitting on a desk unused that I felt a need to put it in the fridge on multiple occasions.

Did you try 7.0 beta 1? Probably the buggiest beta I’ve ever tried.

7.0 beta 1 was mostly fine for me, but I only had it on an iPod touch and some apps (specifically ones that bucked Auto Layout) didn’t work. No real show-stoppers and no fear of my device experiencing significant damage from heat.

No changes so far, looks and feels same as 12.3

Might be something on the Watch side of things. Watch did not get a major release when iOS moved to 12.3. But now it is getting a full point release.

check the wallet for changes related to upcoming apple card. anything?

 

[Direk]

Yes, 2 days is enough for me to have the v12.3.
New beta is my drug. I know you guys, we have the same symptom here.

Been there since the new Home Button-less iPad Pros, I believe.

Modem Firmware and AT&T carrier is the same as 12.3 on iphone 6s plus (5.60.1 and 36.0.2).

WiFi Hotspot Login page popup delay still an issue.

 

[Superhappytree]

Wallet app has a new splash screen for finding apps in the App Store.

Only 2018 iPhone receive a modem firmware update.

Mark Gurman at Bloomberg says this is an Apple Card related release. Makes sense since release is this summer, before iOS 13 is available. Should have seen that coming.

He was just making an educated guess like the rest of us.

This retweet is more telling.

Steve Moser tweets:

Here is the diff for iOS 12.4.0 beta 1. The main difference is a currently hidden app http://PassbookStub.app for iPad to setup Apple Card. It is a separate app from Apple Wallet (http://Passbook.app ) since Apple Wallet doesn’t exist on iPad. #iOSBeta /cc @markgurman

In English, there's a hidden app very likely for setting up Apple Card.

Release notes added to wiki but it showed no changes

 

[dan9700]

they keep changing the xs modem firmware with every release and I still get call drops, apple should just admit its the new phones hardware, by the time they get it better the new phones are gonna be coming out
[doublepost=1557948705][/doublepost]iOS 12 is getting very boring now, a major point release and nothing new apart from maybe some hidden Apple Card things, at least give us a few minor changes or something

I am very happy that iOS 12 most focuses on bug fixes and more important on performance. On my iPhone 7 iOS 12 feels even better then on iOS 10. And last was the first release for that iPhone. This is very impressive and I am thankfull for that because I mustn‘t buy a new iPhone every 2 or 3 years.
