Apple Releases First Beta of iOS 11.2 for Developers [Updated]

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming iOS 11.2 update to developers, just over two weeks after releasing iOS 11.0.3 and while the upcoming iOS 11.1 update is still in beta testing.

Registered developers can download the iOS 11.2 beta from Apple's Developer Center or over-the-air once the proper configuration profile has been installed from the Developer Center.

It's not yet clear what's included in the iOS 11.2 beta, but it could potentially introduce support for features that were not included in the original iOS 11 release.

Apple has said both peer-to-peer Apple Pay payments and iCloud support for iMessages will be introduced in later iOS 11 updates, and neither of these features has appeared in the iOS 11.1 beta, though employees have been testing Apple Pay Cash.

iOS 11 marks a major update to the operating system, with systemwide design tweaks, a new Lock screen experience, a revamped Control Center, and an entirely new interface for the iPad that includes a Dock, Drag and Drop support, and a redesigned App Switcher for better than ever multitasking.

Update: iOS 11.2 introduces a fix for an animation issue that caused the Calculator app to work improperly, a new Now Playing option for controlling content on the Apple TV in Control Center, redesigned camera emoji, and a new loading animation for Live Photos effects. It also appears to introduce the TV app for Sweden and Norway.

Odd to see two 11.X releases being tested together. Wonder if that’s means 11.1 will be released to the public today?

It’s a bummer that 2 major features didn’t make the launch. Those were the features I was most interested in. Really thought Apple Pay in messages and iMessages in the cloud would have made it in for 11.1. Hopefully it’s in this beta 11.2.

Agree Apple shouldn’t have promised or mentioned it in the keynote if they can’t make a deadline

Why would they release 11.2 to developers before 11.1 is even released? Shouldn’t the fixes and features just be put into 11.1 since it’s not even out yet?

Either way I hope it stops my 6S from randomly freezing 2-3 times a day and needing a force restart, which started after the iOS 11 update.

 

[pvmacguy]

Hope this fixes terrible battery life and overheating on iPhone SE.

 

[viperGTS]

Glad I'm still on 10.3.3. I wouldn't like to have to keep updating over and over...

Hopefully this fixes the Control Center toggles and brings back the features that were originally supposed to be there at launch (iMessage Apple Pay and iCloud Messages Sync).

Well it is "out" ... out on millions of X's being shipped around.

It's not unusual. They run 11.x beta all through the summer June-July-Aug at the same time as 10.x betas. They often run multiple betas.
