The iOS 12.4.1 update is a small maintenance release, but it could have a noticeable impact on your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus’ performance.

The iOS 12.4.1 update is performing well on our iPhone 7 models right now, but some users are running into trouble after making the move to the latest version of iOS 12.
