Apple seeded first beta of iOS 11.2.5 for developers just a few hours after releasing iOS 11.2.1. Now, both firmwares are available on 3uTools for users to download. 


iOS 11.2.1 fixes Homekit restore sharing as well as autofocus issue some iPhone X, 8, and 8 Plus users experienced after iOS 11.2. And it's not clear what new features will be included in the iOS 11.2.5 beta and why Apple has skipped several numbers to release an 11.2.5 beta.
