Only a security update, I'm guessing?

 

[gwhizkids]

Yup. Just about the amount of posting activity in here that I figured. Someone turn off the lights in here!

Looks like the majority is on iOS 13 ?

Or they just don't care about this sub-forum anymore.

I remember the very last point update for my iPhone 5, slowed it to a crawl. My iPod Touch 5 also.


This was before all the state law suits against Apple for doing it on purpose...

But it still gives me pause about adding it to my iPhone 5s that I keep around as a backup

I upgraded my iPhone 6 and iPad Mini 2 to 12.4.2. No observed issues.

My wife just texted me from her ipad that wasn't updated and said her iphone 6 after update does not get my imessages. Will have her reboot. But, never had an update issue on any of our iphones, ipads.

Wasn't this for devices that don't support iOS 13, in which case wouldn't it be the last released version for them and thus should always be available and signed for them?

Interesting. Wonder why those particular ones given the they can't install iOS 13 and would still need to have the latest iOS 12 build available to them.

While the IPSWs are not signed, the OTA are signed.

The Music app is crashing on my Iphone 6. Anybody else?

I have had no problems with my iPhone 6 running music (via Bluetooth headphones).

Have you tried closing out the app and reopen it, a hard reset, or resetting all settings?

 

[Banglazed]

This build is now signed for iPad Mini 3 and iPhone 5S

The Music app is crashing on my Iphone 6. Anybody else?

Yes! I just popped in to ask the same question (iPod Touch 6 on iOS 12.4.2). Launch > crash > launch > crash > launch > works (but forgets what you were playing). I closed the app, switched off and restarted the app and even did a full backup and restore, without success.

I've just upgraded to 12.4.3, that might fix it. Won't know until later, will report back.

Reporting back... all seems to be working fine now.
