The following is a link I found to the announcement United made about the new Global First and its other premium products.

There are some details in the press release.
Here is what it says about improvements to GF:
More-comfortable bedding amenities.
Additional in-flight food choices.
New amenity kits featuring Philosophy-brand skin-care products.
Hmmmm...pretty vague.
Regarding BF, though, it's amazing how specific an comprehensive the description of the changes are:
An additional entree option, for a total of four, designed by United's Congress of Chefs. United is also changing the way it prepares business-class meals to improve the quality and taste.
Expanded wine selections chosen by Doug Frost, Sommelier and Master of Wine.
New ice cream sundae dessert option with a choice of six toppings.
Improved in-flight entertainment including noise-reduction headsets.
New amenity kits featuring Philosophy-brand skin-care products.
Duvet-style blankets and higher-quality pillows and hot towels.
Who knows, maybe it's just a lapse, or maybe they're just putting a lot more effort into J than IFC...
