Apple is on the verge of rolling out iOS 17.4.1, marked with the build number 21E235. The specifics of what iOS 17.4.1 entails remain under wraps, but it’s expected to concentrate on rectifying bugs and enhancing performance, rather than introducing new functionalities.
This update scoop comes courtesy of a private social media account known for its reliable predictions regarding Apple’s software updates. This source has consistently provided accurate insights into forthcoming iOS versions. There is also increasing evidence of iOS 17.4.1 in their web analytics, hinting at its imminent arrival.
iOS 17.4 made its debut on March 5, bringing with it a slew of features, such as the support for alternative app stores within the European Union. Other additions included transcription services in Apple Podcasts, enhanced features for Stolen Device Protection and Siri, and a fresh batch of emojis, among other updates.
Looking ahead, Apple is also gearing up to kick off the beta phase for iOS 17.5. This upcoming update is particularly significant for iPhone users in the EU, in line with Apple’s commitment to adhere to the Digital Markets Act. A headline feature of iOS 17.5 will be the ability for developers to make their apps available directly from their websites, a move Apple has indicated will come into effect this spring, likely as part of the iOS 17.5 update.
