Apple has just released iOS 8.4.1 (build number: 12H321) for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

Apple had seeded the first beta version of iOS 8.4.1 to developers on July 14th. iOS 8.4.1 is the first update after the iOS 8.4 release, which included the all-new Music app that integrated with Apple Music. It is likely to include bug fixes and performance improvements.

It remains to be seen if iOS 8.4.1 beta patches the vulnerabilities used by TaiG jailbreak and PP Jailbreak. We’ll let you know as soon as we get any more information. It goes without saying that jailbreakers should avoid upgrading to iOS 8.4.1.

iOS 8.4.1 beta is compatible with the following iOS devices:

  • iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus
  • iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3, iPad 2, iPad (third-generation), iPad (fourth-generation), iPad Air, iPad mini, iPad mini with Retina display
  • iPod touch 5G, iPod touch 6G

We’ll update the post with direct download links as soon as they’re available.

Update 1:

Here’s the list of bugs that have been fixed in iOS 8.4.1:

  • Provides a way to add songs to a new playlist if there aren’t any playlists to choose from.
  • Resolves an issue that may show different artwork for an album on other devices.
  • Resolves several issues for artists while posting to Connect.
  • Fixes an issue where tapping Love doesn’t work as expected while listening to Beats 1.
