Apple Releases iOS 11.2 With Apple Pay Cash, Faster 7.5W Wireless Charging, Date Bug Fix and More [Updated]

Good point with same hardware.


But again, Apple at one point could be held to that standard.

Or people not upgrading their macs hardware wise for YEARS, and having OS X run like butter.

Sierra to High Sierra, on 2017 gear, has turned into an immediate constant diffusing dumpster fire.

It’s embarassing. The macOS side of things is way crazier, but iOS is sloppy too considering Apple is now an iPad/phone-centric company.

That then takes the wind out of the sails of Android getting no updates but Apple being supported for years. If updates break the experience, are they even updates worth touting about, when getting into the religious and holy android vs ios chatter.

Look, Apple has problems, argue about it however you want.

Sloppy is sloppy and a pig with lipstick on, is still a pig. The competition being sloppy, doesnt take away from the topic at hand, being its own form of a mess. They dont have to be mutually exclusive.

I keep iPhones on average for three years. I pass them from me, to my wife, and then to my kid. During those three years we install every software update. It works fine for us. No complaints. Speed is fine (not as good as out of the box but plenty good enough). And we appreciate being able to install two or three major iOS updates in that time period to get new features.

Oh great, thanks! So the trick is to actually hit "Set up Apple pay", and THEN the option 'set up later' appears. Brilliant

No problem. Ran into the same problem earlier this week when I passed my phone down to my daughter (a nine year old doesn’t need Apple Pay

I haven’t updated my 12.9 2017 from 11.1.1 bc 11.1.2 was more for X specific bugs and the verdict isn’t out on 11.2 and 11.0 ran alright, 11.1 not so great and 11.1.1 tho not perfect is relatively smooth sailing so


Go figure?

I updated but don’t see the Apple Pay Cash card in my wallet. I have double authorization on and apply pay already set up. What’s the deal?

Read the full thread. You'll find out.

I don’t think it’s truly turned on yet. I just spoke to Apple Care. They didn’t seem to have a clue. Another rep told me it’s probably just not active as yet.

Just got off the phone with Apple Care. Actually, this rep did some "digging" and discovered that Apple Pay Cash is not "turned on" for IOS 11.2 but only for 11.2 beta users. There is no projected Apple Pay Cash release date that he was able to find.

This sucks. No longer connecting to LTE...4g only. Turned off then on. Nothing.

The point is not about the firefighting methods, it's that the fire was allowed to started in the first place.

That's not really what the part about pushing out code at midnight, which my reply was about, was saying.

I don’t have the little bar at the top of iPhone X?

Not only delaying release after announcement, Apple now releasing features without activating them. Goood lowwwwered.

Seriously? You’re calling Apple Care ten minutes after an update to ask why something isn’t working that you’ve lived without your entire life? And one of you called twice?

No wonder support hold times are so long. People never fail to disappoint.

 

[jonnysods]

Thank goodness, my phone needs a patch badly! So does my AW2 for that matter!

And don't get me started on High Sierra!!

Pumped for patches!

Lol the front line AppleCare advisor will get right on issuing 11.2.1 in hours

I'm hoping to use Apple pay cash in my store some day, that would really shake up the payment business.

 

[Nixle]

iPhone 8 Plus here, camera can’t focus after the update, anybody else with this issue?

 

[MacBird]

Mine are still saved.

I see only one recent voicemail, the rest is gone.

 

[edlex]

Seems like a lot of people are having issues with 11.2. I may hold off.

 

[QuarterSwede]

Geek Bench shows performance for me is around 20% down on my 7.

Strange, my 6 Plus has been faster on the betas (and the public release) without a doubt. What does real world use feel like? That’s what’s important honestly.

I am, and I have always been an instant updater. Not this time.

Apple under Tim Cook has become one big bloated buggy mess,
that because of the rock solid foundation laid by Steve Jobs,
still somehow continues to make money.

 

[jessebkr87]

How do I disable for the Control Center when the iphone is in lock mode?

because I see the following:

Settings > Control Center > "Access on Lock Screen" is gone?

That setting is now exclusively located in Settings>Touch ID (or Face ID) & Passcode. It moved a few releases ago.

 

[djeeyore25]

Is it just me but is wireless charging not working at all since the update. I’m using the Samsung fast wireless charger and the battery percentage doesn’t seem to increase at all.

My Samsung fast charger is working with my iPhone X under 11.2. I don't think it's charging any faster, but it works.

 

[Glideslope]

It was never perfect, but its gotten SUBSTANTIALLY worse

I dunno how that one can be up for debate, but to each his own

They are in denial. It's actually a very common psychological reaction during periods of mass chaos.

 

[archvile]

Do you have Control Center enabled on lock screen/cover sheet?

Can we all say "Vista."
