Apple Releases iOS 11.1.2 With Fix for Unresponsive iPhone X Display in Cold Temperatures

[MacRumors]

Apple today released iOS 11.1.2, the seventh official update to the iOS 11 operating system. iOS 11.1.2 comes just one week after Apple released iOS 11.1.1, an update that addressed a pesky and widespread autocorrect bug.

The iOS 11.1.2 update can be downloaded for free on all eligible devices over-the-air in the Settings app. To access the update, go to Settings --> General --> Software Update.

The iOS 11.1.2 update addresses bugs and issues that have been discovered since the release of iOS 11.1.1. According to Apple's release notes, the update addresses a bug that caused some iPhone X displays to become temporarily unresponsive when exposed to cold temperatures.

iOS 11.1.2 includes bug fixes for your iPhone and iPad. This update:
- Fixes an issue where the iPhone X screen becomes temporarily unresponsive to touch after a rapid temperature drop
- Addresses an issue that could cause distortion in Live Photos and videos captured with iPhone X
- Fixes an issue that could cause your device to restart after receiving a long notification in Arabic

iOS 11.1.2 comes as Apple works on the iOS 11.2 update, which introduces Apple Pay Cash, support for faster 7.5W wireless charging on iPhone X, 8, and 8 Plus, and several bug fixes and minor interface tweaks.

For once, an update will literally make things snappier (in cold situations).

Remember the good old days when you were safe with a .1 release?

Finally about time

 

[BreuerEditor]

Hopefully either this update or 11.2 will fix the ever annoying disappearing clock and notifications...

 

[ugahairydawgs]

Got to give them credit....they are churning out updates at a pretty high clip these days to try and squash as many of these big bugs as possible.

So just for iPhone X or all iOS devices (especially with the mention of "for your iPhone and iPad")?

 

[willnpc]

Hard to believe this wasn't tested and known about before shipment... wonder what else they know that might go wrong in the near future

 

[gwhizkids]

I find this language in the release notes curious: "iOS 11.1.2 includes bug fixes for your iPhone and iPad." Probably just their stock release notes text as most do apply to both classes of device and not just one. But makes you wonder...

Well its not showing up on any of my devices (iPhone X or iPad), so I'm sure posting about it will solve all my issues.

Edit: OTA just showed up

Yes, because the lab where they work on these devices is 30 degrees? That seems like a pretty weird thing to test considering no other iPhones have had this issue.

Just hit my iPhone X now.

iOS 11 is just going to live in update land.

Same here.

I'm sure they test all kind of conditions smarty... or at least you would hope so... Apple isn't as dumb as you think

Unrelated to the message (and happy to see this update as my wife just had this happen to her this morning), there is a typo near the end of the post - "bug fiexes" instead of "bug fixes."

 

[dan9700]

is 11.2 beta 3 got both these fixes

 

[Crzyrio]

Remember the good old days when you were safe with a .1 release?

And had a fraction of the features and possibilities.

It doesn’t happen every time. I’ve had my iPhone X for a week where it’s been freezing cold and it only happened to me once.

A product cannot be tested by millions of people covering all usage scenarios. That’s why we have bug fixing point updates.

 

[lsbuffs]

Not showing up here, but I live in Phoenix. Maybe Apple is making available to northern climates first

 

[dwillnyc]

It just showed up on my 7+.

It is showing up on my iPhone 8.

The update is for all iOS devices. Apple never lists all the bug fixes in their release notes.

 

[bwintx]

Yep, just getting it now for 7 Plus. The "and iPad" part didn't make sense if it was X-only.

 

[C DM]

It is showing up on my iPhone 8.

Yup, just got it on my iPhone 7. Sounds like it was just taking a bit of time to roll out to other devices.
