The installation went on fine in my iPhone X.
But the carrier update was not done automatically and I didn't get any popup asking me to update. As a result my data was not working on my way to work.
Upon reaching office, I connected via wifi and updated the carrier update of Jio (India) and the data is back on..!!
Bit weird, as this has never happened in past updated to me.

Ok think I need to do the Carrier update then as I’ve had no data since the update.
Edit: it seems as though my carrier is having a service outage so nothing to do with the update.

How about fixing the bug where I have to constantly turn airplane mode on and then off to receive service? Got full bars and LTE status but the internet won’t work until I switch airplane mode on and off! Brand new iPhone XS Max. My girlfriend has the same issue on her iPhone X.
Does this update make iPhone 7 any slower compared to 12.1?
Trivial question. But few of us are waiting to hear from the community.

I was genuinely hoping someone like you doesn't respond tho this.
It’s not diagnostic by any stretch ... but surely if Apple says so ....

And you missed the part where a pulse reader (not even a pulse oximetry) is not a ECG by any description. It’s marketing hype. And if your GP decrees you need a proper cardiac assessment you’ll get a proper ECG. Still. Looks good in those graphics eh?

Ahhh yeah. Cheers!
iPhone XS still laggy and stuttering all Day long. WTF Apple, get this fixed please. Its so annoying.
Apple today released iOS 12.1.1, the third update to the iOS 12 operating system since its September launch. iOS 12.1.1 is a minor update that follows iOS 12.1, a more significant release that brought features like Group FaceTime, initial eSIM support, and new emoji.
The iOS 12.1.1 update is available on all eligible devices over-the-air in the Settings app. To access the update, go to Settings > General > Software Update. As with all iOS updates, iOS 12.1.1 is free to download.
iOS 12.1.1 reintroduces a feature that's designed to let you take a Live Photo while on a FaceTime call so you can capture favorite moments and save them indefinitely. Taking a Live Photo on a FaceTime call requires the person you're video chatting with to have the "FaceTime Live Photos" setting toggled on, which can be accessed by going to Settings > FaceTime > FaceTime Live Photos. If this setting is disabled, people you chat with won't be able to take a Live Photo during the call.
FaceTime also includes a reworked bottom bar that offers up quick access buttons for muting a call and flipping the camera. Sliding up on the bottom bar brings up additional options with conversation participants.
Prior to today's update, FaceTime users were required to tap on three dots to access a secondary menu with these features, so this greatly streamlines often used options.
eSIM support on the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR has expanded to additional carriers across Europe in iOS 12.1.1, including Swisscom in Switzerland, Orange in Spain, and Three in Sweden and Denmark. We're checking to see if Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile have added support for this feature.
On the iPhone XR, the iOS 12.1.1 update introduces support for Haptic Touch with notifications. Haptic Touch can now be used to expand notifications on the Lock screen through a long press to see additional content. This is identical to the 3D Touch option on notifications on other iPhones.
For owners of Apple Watch Series 4 models, the iOS 12.1.1 update introduces support for the the ECG feature that will be included in the watchOS 5.1.2 update for Apple Watch Series 4 models. A single-lead ECG reading, which detects your heart rhythm, can be taken on an Apple Watch Series 4 by placing a finger on the Digital Crown after updating to watchOS 5.1.2.
iOS 12.1.1 also adds a new option in Apple News to hide the side bar on the iPad when using the app in landscape mode, it introduces an option to turn off the physical SIM in the device in favor of the eSIM, and it tweaks the icon of the Apple Watch app so it looks like the Apple Watch Series 4.
iOS 12.1.1 release notes:macOS Mojave 10.14.2, tvOS 12.1.1, and a HomePod 12.1.1 software update were also released today, but there is no sign of watchOS 5.1.2 at this time.

[doublepost=1544109975][/doublepost]Because its soooooo cheap.
Not sure if this is coincidence, but after updating to 12.1.1 on new iPad Pro, Honeywell Lyric thermostats got kicked off of Homekit. Had to re-add them...
I'm coming from 12.0.1, but haven't noticed any change in overall performance and responsiveness thus far with 12.1.1.
