The iOS 8.4.1 update is almost a week old and although small there are a lot of details that iPhone 6 Plus owners need to know about this free upgrade. This focused guide looks at the 10 most important things users need to know about the iPhone 6 Plus iOS 8.4.1 update.
Apple delivered iOS 8.4 in late June with Apple Music, and this smaller update includes security fixes and updates that fix some Apple Music problems. While iOS 8.4 was a major update like iOS 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 — this is not as involved and it does not deliver the same number or depth of upgrades.
After a short iOS 8.4.1 beta for developers Apple finally released the iPhone 6 Plus iOS 8.4.1 update last week to bring the fixes to more users — solving some particularly annoying Apple Music bugs.

Even small updates can dramatically change the performance of devices for good or bad, which is why we pay close attention to how well the iPhone 6 Plus runs iOS 8.4.1. After almost a week of use the good news is that the iPhone 6 Plus performance on iOS 8.4.1 is still solid. The large iPhone is still as fast as ever and the bugs Apple fixed in iOS 8.4 are still fixed, which leads to great overall experience on the device. Connectivity remains solid from WiFi and AT&T LTE to Bluetooth connectivity to headphones. The Personal Hotspot feature works and the connections are slightly more reliable than on iOS 8.4. It is still a good idea to check on any work or hobby related apps that you need to work on your iPhone, but there have been no problems with our core iPhone 6 Plus apps.
