Apple released iOS 18.4.1 and iPadOS 18.4.1 yesterday. Although these are minor, infrequent updates, that doesn't mean they're not important to install. These updates protect iPhone and iPad users from an attack that could result in the execution of dangerous code. Apple says it's aware of a report alleging that this issue has already been exploited in sophisticated individual attacks against some targeted iOS users.
There are minor updates for iOS 17, macOS 14, and macOS 13 as well.

There were complaints about battery drain in the previous update. Has the battery drain issue been resolved in this update?
Hello Ali 🙋♂️, In the new iOS 18.4.1 update, Apple has made many fixes and improvements, but hasn't specifically mentioned the battery drain issue 🤷♂️. But as you know, many problems are fixed "secretly" without being announced. The best way to know if the problem has been resolved is to try the update yourself and see if there is an improvement in battery performance 🔋. I wish you a happy experience! 🚀

Apple has released a new update, iOS 18.4.1, while the beta update, iOS 18.5 beta 1 and beta 2, has been released. What will happen to the phones that have downloaded the beta updates? Will they lose the fixes in iOS 18.4.1, or will they be included in the official update to iOS 18.5?
Hello, Fares Al-Janabi 🙌,
Don't worry, if you downloaded the iOS 18.5 beta, all the updates and fixes in iOS 18.4.1 will be included in the official iOS 18.5 release.
This is the nature of beta updates: they include everything in previous versions plus new features and improvements that developers are testing.
I wish you an exciting user experience with Apple! 🍏📱
