It’s been a few weeks since Apple released iOS 17.4.1, the latest stable update for iPhones, and now is the time to highlight its importance.
While iOS 17.4.1 is just a point update compared to what iOS 17.4 brought, operational stability is considered crucial for many. There are essential improvements in components like battery and security within this operating system that users cannot see with the naked eye, which are especially important in the iPhone system.
Before delving into the role of the new update, it’s important to understand that operating system updates contain minor changes and improvements that Apple doesn’t mention in the release notes. In most cases, they can improve security for devices. For iOS 17.4.1, Aplpe’s website details the security vulnerabilities it fixes. These are not major loopholes that can be exploited en masse, but they still exist and can affect everyone who is still using iOS 17.4 or older.
But more importantly, iPhone battery life has improved after updating to iOS 17.4.1. The improvement is not to the extent that the iPhone can be used for more hours than the previous version, but the stability of the system after a period of installation shows that it has improved compared to previous versions, as iOS 17.4 sometimes had excessive drain.
Of course, each case is different. If the iPhone already has a weak battery condition, there is not much that users can do besides applying the battery saving recommendations in iOS or replacing the iPhone with a new battery. But if the device still maintains good battery life, users will notice a further improvement in battery life in this version, especially if they were one of those who experienced issues in the iOS 17.4 version.
