iOS 11.4 Review! Should You Update? #Helpful Post

hey guys Iowa's 11.4 is fast approaching

it's about to be released in just a

couple weeks here and in this video I

thought I'd bring together everything we

know about everything that matters into

one video before you update I've

personally been using it for just a

couple weeks now and I've got my own

opinion to throw in there and there are

a couple things that I don't like about

it which I'll mention but in general

everything you need to know about Iowa's

11.4 including all of the new features

before updating so to begin Iowa's

eleven point four beta six was released

today and there's really nothing new to

report in that version so that's why I'm

covering Iowa's eleven point four as a

whole here but the build number is still

in beta as it does have a little eight

on the very right we're likely to

receive the gold master the final

version here in just a couple weeks

maybe even next week and the final

release date will likely be on June 4th

after WWDC

but ok anyways the first thing that I

noticed after updating personally it's

at eleven point four is that you get

some storage back I got about two

gigabytes back originally after updating

to beta 2 and ever since then it's been

the same but mostly whenever a new

version comes out like eleven point two

eleven point three you're gonna get some

storage back because apps are clearing

the cache general cleanup in iOS will

happen so you will likely see some

storage being returned to you I also did

notice that face ID and iOS eleven point

four tends to be much more reliable and

faster than eleven point three for me

personally I don't know why and it's

definitely not a placebo it's just

generally done much better on eleven

point four and the same thing goes for

the app switcher I know what I was 11.3

Apple did improvements to this with

animations but it seems like an eleven

point four they polished it even further

it just seems very fluid in general

works very well I've had no issues a lot

of apps stay loaded in the background

much better the RAM management general

at eleven point four seems to be

slightly better and do you guys remember

the black top bug I'm gonna go ahead and

do it real quick on the latest version

here so the first part is to send a nice

small message and then I'm gonna go

ahead and send the larger one and once I

do receive that on my iPhone here in

just a second I'm happy to report that

the message is no longer crash this is

what happens there abbreviated their

shortened but when you click on it you

don't see the whole thing it's kind of

weird Apple did patch it it still seems

to affect the phone slightly it does get

hot and the

frees up the messages up just a little

slow it down I mean but it no longer

makes it all white and crashes it

completely so the Black Dog bug has

officially been fixed and I almost 11.4

and messages on iCloud is finally

present this is a feature that will also

save you some storage it was teased

originally in 11.3 Apple removed it and

now in 11.4 it finally seems like Apple

will be adding it so in your iCloud

settings you'll see a new messages tab

and a little toggle for it's an able it

here and you'll be able to store your I

messages on the iCloud and airplay to is

back as well so this is another feature

that was teased in 11.3 Apple removed it

and now it's made its way back to Iowa's

11.4 with multi-room support so you hear

you'll get all of your airplay two

options I have two home pods as you can

see I get these toggles that I can

control different rooms with the stalker

control center settings so that's

definitely nice to see and to go with

this it's a very nice feature that Apple

added to Siri you can actually ask Siri

to play different speakers in different

rooms basically control multi room with

Siri for example you can say hey Siri

play gold in the office or hey Siri play

gold in the bedroom and she can

contextually change where she plays the

music because of that multi room support

now and the Siri support forum and

stereo pairing so I'm a little confused

by this one Apple added reference to

stereo pairing back into iOS 11.4 beta

one they removed it in iOS 11.4 beta two

and we still may see it before the final

release but don't hold your breath

honestly this is a feature that I feel

could be very tricky and Apple wants to

wait and perfect it so maybe we'd have

to wait even longer beyond iowa 7.4 so

it may still surface but stereo support

seems to have came in once in 11.4 and

in Iowa's 11.4 another feature for the

home pod is it seems to have gained

support for the calendar app you may be

able to ask it to do things like set an

appointment in the calendar or certain

things like that's regarding the

calendar because it actually showed up

in a splash screen when setting up the

home pod where previously it wasn't on

iOS 11.3 and for the iphone 10 the folio

cases it seems that a feature has been

added where if you actually close it and

open it you can unlock it automatically

that feature was present on other

devices not in the iPhone 10 by Apple

did add that support with Iowa's 11.4

and there's a new security measure in

Iowa

point four this is to combat the

brute-forcing tools like great he where

if you haven't used or unlocked your

phone in seven days it will lock out the

Lightning ports and then it's only a

power port so you won't be able to

transfer data through its and thus

rendering the gray key brute force tool

ineffective so that's very great

security measure implemented by Apple if

you're at all worried about that Iowa's

eleven point four is a sure bet to

update to meanwhile a couple other

things I wanted to mention that still

work the blank spaces bug the trick

still works in latest beta I was able to

reproduce the glitch to crash your

device as well to go in here to edit

then going up here to edit and doing it

at the same time clicking done and then

over here done will crash your device

that still works in the latest beta

could still be fixed and a really cool

one that I found still works is the no

animations bug so you're able to

reproduce that and now get no animations

on the latest version of 11.4 so in a

nutshell there is Iowa's eleven point

four those are all of the features that

Apple has introduced and they still may

change a couple things between now and

the final release but for now this is

everything we know about iOS eleven

point four and that's my review of it

it's not a very big update iOS eleven

point three was considered to be pretty

big this one is pretty much refinements

as this will likely be the last version

of iOS eleven eleven point four then we

might get a smaller update or two after

that by iOS eleven point four is likely

to be the last one for iOS 11 and it

definitely leaves things off on a pretty

good note it's pretty responsive it's

pretty decent for older devices as well

gives you some storage back and it does

have a couple features thrown in there

as well in any case let's go ahead and

test the speed performance using a

Geekbench see if I can get some sort of

numbers out of here that are any

different than Iowa's eleven point three

point one and here are the previous

results from iOS eleven point three I've

got a ten thousand two hundred eighty

six multi 4254 single core over here

pretty similar multi-core is a little

bit higher up overall the performance

feels exactly the same as iOS eleven

point three in all areas except for the

face ID I can definitely feel that there

is a difference there and the app

switcher seems a little bit more refined

as well just works smoothly so okay guys

there it is iOS eleven point four should

you update I say absolutely unless

you're specifically waiting for

break or something there's no reason not

to update but in my personal experience

the battery life has been a little bit

worse than eleven point three point one

it honestly may be that it's still on a

beta but on Iowa's live employer three

beta the battery life was better so go

figure that's my personal experience so

yours may differ but the battery life

seems to be a little bit worse still may

change though otherwise it includes

security fixes the black dot bug and

then of course a couple of necessary

features like I messages in the iCloud

and then airplay to multi room supports

so thanks for watching guys that's

iowa's 11.4 and looking forward to

seeing iOS 12 here in just a short

couple weeks peace
