The iOS 8.4.1 update is now available for Apple users, but people may want to think carefully before they take the plunge with the upgrade.
Problems are routinely found in any operating system (OS) update, but there are supposedly some aspects of the 8.4.1 update that make it highly undesirable.
According to Gotta Be Mobile, one of the biggest problems registered thus far regarding the 8.4.1 update has been about its effect on the phone's battery life. The phone's battery is supposedly being drained at an abnormally high rate, making things highly inconvenient for Apple users.
The 8.4.1 update has also reportedly been messing with the Apple Music app on users' devices. Considering that one of the main goals of the update was to actually help improve Apple Music, the idea that it has somehow adversely affected the app could be a very troubling sign of its future.
Other issues being reported about the 8.4.1 update include problems popping up with things such as Wi-Fi and even the Mail app, so evidence is beginning to mount that the latest software may be problematic to say the least.
Aside from all the other problems it reportedly presents, one of the biggest impacts of the 8.4.1 iOS update is the fact that it is designed to kill off jailbreaks for the iPhone.
As many jailbreaking fans know, the iOS 8.4 can support the software accessible only to those who have chosen to go down this road, so users may have invested heavily in that may want think twice before they download the newest update.
For those who may already gotten the 8.4.1 update unwittingly knowing its implications for jailbreaking, they still have options to explore to get back their precious apps, according to iDownload Blog.
Users can try to downgrade from the 8.4.1 iOS back to the 8.4 version, although the best way, according to the website, is still to just avoid the newest update altogether.
