...Apple released iOS 11.4.1 for iPhones and iPads—a small update that fixes a couple bugs and introduces a new security feature. This is the fifteenth update since iOS 11 released last September. It's available to the same devices as iOS 11.4—the iPhone 5S and later, the iPad Air and later, the iPad mini 2 and later, and 2015 iPod touch.
The notes users will see when they go to the Settings app to update their phones are as follows:
iOS 11.4.1 includes bug fixes and improves the security of your iPhone or iPad. This update:
- Fixes an issue that prevented some users from viewing the last known location of their AirPods in Find My iPhone
- Improves reliability of syncing mail, contacts, and notes with Exchange accounts
As usual, this iOS release also includes security updates. However, Apple had not released the details on its security page at the time of this posting, but expect them to appear sometime soon. Significant but not listed: USB Restricted Mode, a change originally included in the iOS 12 beta that makes it more difficult for anyone, including authorities, to break into the iPhone through the Lightning port.
You'll now find a toggle switch labeled "USB Accessories" in the Touch ID & Passcode section of the Settings app labeled "USB Accessories." It's off by default. A caption explains:
Unlock iPhone to allow USB accessories to connect when it has been more than an hour since your iPhone was unlocked.

I'm still running iOS 10.0.1. I guess I finally have an actual reason to upgrade.
