Not sure if it’s related to the update or not, but I did just recently switch from setting 3 to setting 2 on my iPhone 7 because it felt better to me for some reason (more so than it had before). Again, not sure if it’s related to the update or not but I didn’t switch back to 2 until after 12.4...
Do you have the 8 plus? I have the smaller sized 8.
I notice that my gf’s 7 plus has a much stronger haptic feedback then my smaller 8. Not sure if that’s because of the 7’s size or if they used a different electro magnet in the 7 line of phones. I believe the magnet is bigger in the plus sized phones, but I’m not 100% on that.
It just seems to me that right after the update setting 2 feels a bit more shallow, more numb if I may put it. Setting one is too shallow for me, I tried changing to 3 but that had too much of a kick to it and it felt unpleasant compared to what I was used to previously.
I think this is something I noticed as well on setting 2, which is why I switched from 3. Having used 2 for 2 days now I’m not sure why I liked 3 so much lol.
I have a iPhone Xs and I am still on 12.3.1. Do you guys advise upgrading to 12.4? What are the pros and cons of the update so far? Thanks ahead of time.
No (new) issues for me (also Xs); battery life is still (very) good.
You also get some security patches and most likely some other stuff, like e.g. 12.4 seems to significantly improve/fix wireless CarPlay stability in combination with BMW iDrive 7...
12.4 is pretty solid for me. I only have 2 small bugs remaining.
1). Sometimes when on the home screen I swipe down on the screen to get the search bar and sometimes the keyboard doesn't pop up or it pops up briefly and I have to try again.
2). When tying on the keyboard esp in messages sometimes one if the keys will stay popped up (the letter) even when I hit other keys.

I happened to come across a hidden change in iOS 12.4 that no one has mentioned yet, and it's in the wallet section of the watch app: starting in iOS 12.4, tapping on the merchant name below the map thumbnail in the details page of a recent transaction opens the Maps app to show the listing and location for that merchant (if the merchant was fully identified and located). Previously, tapping on the merchant name under the map thumbnail in the transaction details page only showed the merchant's Maps listing and it did so within the watch app, without opening the actual Maps app. Strangely, however, Apple only made the change in wallet for Apple Watch, but not in the iPhone's regular wallet app.
WHen i turn on iPhone at ceratil stages (eg if its been powered off for a few minutes), when i turn it back on, sometime i will briefly get 1% battery charge, then it will jump to accurate battery reporting.. Also sometimes when powwering on "No service" even on Home screen both of these issues matter for a few seconds.
Apple backs this up as a "POST" (before the OS boots its inaccuratly) like like a typical computer rpeorting before the OS is loaded. falsly..
However, my concluton is its iOS.14.4 update, because it never happened before..
I tried Network reset settings, and erase all content and settings.. Didn't help
Anyone else finding this to be known?

Plugging into car USB Freezes.
Anyone else have this issue? Was not a problem with all releases previous to 12.4. I have a 2013 Lexus where connecting an iPhone (in this case iPhone 8) via USB enables all iPod functions along with the USB hands free functions. Now when I connect it before turning on the car or after turning on the car either has an issue where it connects as an iPod 30% of the time. If I try to use Siri it freezes the phone 100% of the time and requires a hard reset. Yes I tried using different apple cables and have the same issue.
Was flawless previously and now functionality varies from zero to 100%; even after multiple hard resets.
Cheers,
AJ

Looks like the problem isn't that common, though. I updated both of my devices (iPhone XS and iPad Pro 10.5") and I had no issues with my photos or music. And yours is really the first comment I read around here regarding issues with music and photos after updating to iOS 12.4, so I guess only a few users had those issues.
12.4 has been very stable for me on all of my devices.
The one thing that still happens on my iPhone X (and has been going on for a few releases now), is the keyboard occasionally disappearing when swiping down on home screen for Search.
Is this a common issue, and is there any known workaround?

Yeah it is a bug caused by having an alphanumeric password. It has been going on for a few releases now. Change to a numeric password and you will notice the bug doesn't happen. I still have an alphanumeric password anyway.
Never had an alphanumeric password... it doesn’t happen all the time, but still annoying!
I have the same issue. I was using Alpha numeric passcode and got strange key pop ups and the keyboard going up and down when in imessage. By using numeric passcode that's all fixed but the keyboard not coming up when searching from the home screen at times. I don't know why Apple cant fix these small bugs.
