IOS and apple products getting minor updates
Apple vis is reporting that IOS 11.4.1 and other apple products are getting minor updates. this apple vis blog post walks you through the details of the updates. According to notations, it does not look like there are any improvements or regressions for accessibility, but it is always a possibility. Instructions for updating each apple product is given at the end of the posting for people who need it.
The biggest change that I want to highlight is the new USB locking feature. This is to lock out tools from extracting data after an hour of the phone being locked. This is a very talked about new feature of the IOS platform, and is looking to be a good thing. According toarticles, companies who develope these tools may already be getting around this restriction, but it is not confirmed as of yet.
For the casual user, this update set may include bug fixes and security improvements throughout the operation of the device being used whether phone, watch, TV, or Mac.
