14 DAY TRIAL // Apple released the iOS 12.4, macOS Mojave 10.14.6, tvOS 12.4, and watchOS 5.3 software updates for all supported devices, adding more security improvements and bug fixes.
After a few weeks of development, the iOS 12.4 (build 16G77), macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (build 18G84), tvOS 12.4 (build 16M568), and watchOS 5.3 (build 16U569) software updates are here and ready for download via OTA (Over-the-Air) update mechanism on all supported iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch devices.
As for the changes included in this new maintenance releases, we can mention that iOS 12.4 introduces an iPhone migration feature that lets users wirelessly transfer their data from an old iPhone device to a new one during the first-time setup process. Of course, for this to work, the newer device needs to run the iOS 12.4 release.
Furthermore, iOS 12.4 adds support for FaceTime audio and video calling on iPhone and iPad devices sold in Pakistan, addresses the recent security issue affecting the Walkie-Talkie app on the Apple Watch, thus re-enabling the Walkie-Talkie functionality for all supported Apple Watch models, and adds support for HomePod in Japan and Taiwan.
What's new in macOS Mojave 10.14.6, watchOS 5.3, and tvOS 12.4
The macOS Mojave 10.14.6 release is here to address an issue that prevented the creation of a new Boot Camp partition on iMac and Mac mini computers with Fusion Drive, repair a problem that could have lead to a hang during a restart on all supported Macs, and fix aa graphic issue that may occur when waking your Mac from sleep.
Other than that, the macOS Mojave 10.14.6 update improves the reliability of the file sharing functionality over SMB (Samba) and addresses an issue that may have caused full-screen videos to appear black on Mac mini computers. On the other hand, the tvOS 12.4 release introduces more performance improvements and bug fixes, along with various refinements to the new TV app.
The watchOS 5.3 release adds the ECG app and irregular heart rhythm notifications on all supported Apple Watch Series 4 models sold in Canada and Singapore, and fixes the recent security vulnerability in the Walkie-Talkie app, which could allow someone to listen to the conversations of another person's iPhone without consent.
