As expected, Apple released the final versions of iOS 12.4, watchOS 5.3, macOS 10.4.6 and tvOS 12.4 this evening.
The updates of the new operating systems are available in the settings for all suitable devices. The iOS 12.4 update contains a number of system improvements and bug fixes. iPhone migration has also been introduced. The option allows you to transfer data from an old iPhone to a new device. In addition, further optimizations have been made in Apple News.

macOS 10.14.6
macOS 10.14.6 is probably one of the last updates under macOS Mojave - the update can be started via the system settings in the Apple menu. The new version brings further bug fixes and system optimizations.
tvOS 12.4
Of course, the fourth and fifth generation Apple TV have also received an update - but this does not contain any notable new features. Users of the third generation Apple TV can also enjoy a small update.
Miscellaneous
As part of the update wave, Apple has also released an update for older devices. iOS 9.3.6 and iOS 10.3.4 are available for older iPhone and iPad models. These iOS versions are intended to fix a GPS bug and provide more security. Some observers have predicted the launch of the Apple Card with the introduction of iOS 12.4. However, nothing of the sort has been announced so far. Apple's new credit card may follow in the next few days. Qi charging stations on offer on Amazon
