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

[CaTOAGU]

Are the Apple Pay Cash options missing from 11.2 for anyone else? I'm in the US and the option to enable it is missing. I've checked both in the Wallet and in Settings.

It hasn't been enabled yet for anyone that isn't registered for public or developer betas. It should be live sometime this week as far as I know.

Yes

You must have vibrations / haptic turned off in accessibility.
If vibrations have not been disabled then you will have this newly added and irritating haptic feedback when swiping up to go "home."

And how do “you” know this?

You do not get to be the richest company in history for "making calls" and "sending texts and emails". Samsung can do that. OnePlus can do that. You get to enjoy that through consistent, reliable innovations.

They have been promising and promoting and bragging about Apple Pay Cash forever. It was supposed to come with iOS11. Nope. 11.1. Nope. 11.2 comes out, and "oh you'll get it Monday".

It's not whining; it's just getting, you know, what they keep promising.

I guess I can see your point. Apple cash is life changing and having to wait a little longer is just making life more and more difficult as each day goes by. Not sure what makes you think because a company says it’s coming you should expect it no if ands it buts. Life happens things don’t always go as planned. You’ll still buy Apple products and you can still use your smartphone as is. Take a breath. It’ll all be ok.

Um. Só isn’t that a bug if none of wireless chargers charge faster.

The 2

Is there any visual change to indicate it's "fast" wireless charging?

First we need to find out if the fast charge update was apart of 11.2. Has it been confirmed?

the bar on the lock screen upper right just under the symbols is a neat touch

I really want apple cash but I don't even trust updating right now I'm going to wait to see how it runs over the next few days because I've been having a rough time with IOS 11. Right now at least my phone is relatively stable minus some lag every once in a while.

I don’t, and I don’t. No haptic when swiping up to go home. Or when swiping down th control center.

That’s what it says in the article you’re responding to - where they got that information I don’t know.

 

[Act3]

Agreed. Each and every app takes 2-3 seconds to grab internet data. Weather Channel and AccuWeather are prime examples.

Add weatherbug , yahoo sports app, etc. just about all apps are like that.

Thanks much!

If you go there, you can search for iPhone 6 and view results.

Edit: here are some results

11.2- https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/5264311
11.1.2- https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/5170585
11.1.1- https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/5170477

Not really sure how these help, but hope this helps you out.

Ugh. I hate it.

 

[enduro0125]

Ugh. I hate it.

I can hardly see it.

 

[pdaholic]

Ugh. I hate it.

just be thankful it doesn't show up on every screen like the stupid home bar.

I do not have them turned off. What I’ve found since 11.2 installed yesterday is random occurrences of a sound, vibration or both when closing control center. Sometimes nothing, too.

It seems to be very inconsistent with no rhyme or reason behind it.

 

[HiRez]

First thing I noticed was they darkened the green color for "up" in the Stocks app. Looks weird after 10 years of the brighter green.

 

[Enigmalady777]

Are you in the USA? It’s USA only.

I'm in the US (California) and I'm not seeing it either after updating to 11.2.
[doublepost=1512344701][/doublepost]

Looks like you are on an X? Maybe they left it enabled on those with it for a softer rollout. Definitely not enabled on my several 7+ in front of me.

I'm on an iPhone X 64 GB and I don't see it in wallet either.

People have “reading” issues here lol

Apple Pay Cash is not yet turned on. They released iOS 11.2 early because of the date bug in iOS 11.1.

 

[Delgibbons]

I hear you, but a few points in response:

- The greatest number of bugs are typically introduced on major upgrades, such as from ios9 to ios10 etc (as is true for all large OS's)
- A lesser (but decent) number of bugs are typically introduced on all updates including significant new features, such as 11.1 to 11.2. But other bugs are fixed at the same time, so there's still some net down trending of outstanding bugs on these releases.
- The total number of outstanding significant bugs trend lower through each bug fix release release, such as from 11.1.1 to 11.1.2 etc.

Of course, these trends are the same for every developer of major operating systems,

- But these trend lines are never completely smooth and there WILL be some hiccups. One hiccup was this dec 2 bug, which was unusually painful for apple and the users affected by it. This hiccup, and the subsequently early release of 11.2 probably means that 11.2 is less solid than it would have been if it hadn't been rushed out at this time.

I think Apple was right to rush it out given the circumstances, but its probably a little riskier than usual.

My experience of IOS 11 thus far been very, very good, as it has for my friends. But I know that's not true for everybody. I do believe it will generally get better and better for most all of us.

My mini 2 has been fine tbh.

I still find the os a bit of a mess though in places. Why can't I clear recent notifications in one go on the lock screen sometimes but sometimes can with an X icon? Why can't I have a close all apps in one go icon like on my android phone instead of having to swipe away every individual open app?

I also miss the overall smoothness of the older iOS. And the older copy/paste thing with the magnifying glass. That was wicked.

I had two apps, MLB.tv and NHL.tv that wouldn't start on Saturday and work fine today. So I doubt there was a date bug fix. But obviously, they had some fix on there that needed to go, even before the Apple Pay Card would be ready to download.
