10 Things to Know About the iPhone 4s iOS 8.4.1 Update

Last week, Apple released its iOS 8.4.1 update to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users around the world. It’s small but important and it’s an update that iPhone 4s users need to know about as we approach the iOS 9 release. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the most important things to know about the iPhone 4s iOS 8.4.1 update.

On June 30th, Apple released its iOS 8.4 update, a major iOS upgrade that replaced iOS 8.3 on iOS 8 powered devices all over the world. At the time, it wasn’t clear if Apple would roll out another iOS 8 update ahead of the iOS 9 release that’s confirmed for the fall.

In July, we got our answer in the form of iOS 8.4.1, an update that landed in beta with a mysterious change log and a mysterious release date.

When Apple confirmed the iOS 8.4.1 update it failed to confirm its contents or an iOS 8.4.1 release date leaving those announcements for another date. That date, as we you might know, landed last week when Apple took the iOS 8.4.1 update out of beta and released it to the public.

iOS 8.4.1 is much smaller than iOS 8.4 though it’s still an extremely important update. For one it comes with some crucial fixes and two, it has the potential to affect the performance on your iPhone 4s.

As we’ve moved away from last week’s iOS 8.4.1 release date, we’ve started to learn more about the iOS 8.4.1 update and its performance. Many iPhone users, including those with the iPhone 4s, want to know how the update is performing. We don’t blame them. New updates have a tendency to wreck havoc on older phones.

With that in mind we want to take a look at the most important things to know about iOS 8.4.1 for iPhone 4s. This covers the right now and it also covers what you need to know about the iPhone 4s iOS 8.4.1 update as we make our way towards the iOS 9 release date.
