It's been a few weeks since Apple released iOS 17.4.1, currently the latest stable update for the iPhone, it's time to show just how important this update is.
It's true that iOS 17.4.1 is just an update compared to what iOS 17.4 brought, but operational stability is arguably important to many people. There are important improvements in components such as battery as well as security included in this operating system that users cannot see with the naked eye, which is special in the iPhone system.
Before diving into the role of the new update, understand that operating system updates contain small changes and improvements that Apple does not mention in the release notes. In most cases, they can improve the security of devices. With iOS 17.4.1, Apple's website details the security bugs it fixes. These are not major vulnerabilities that can be exploited massively, but they still exist and could affect everyone who is still using iOS 17.4 or an earlier version.
But more importantly, the battery life on the iPhone has improved after updating to iOS 17.4.1. The improvement figure does not mean 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 been improved compared to previous versions, due to iOS 17.4. when consumed too much.
Obviously, each case is different. If the iPhone already has a low battery condition, there isn't much the user can do other than apply battery saving recommendations in iOS or replace the iPhone battery with a new one. But if the device maintains good battery life, users will notice further improvement in battery life in this version, especially if they are one of those who encountered problems in iOS 17.4 version.
