Lockscreen notifications on my iPhone were broken by 12.1.1. 12.1.2 has fixed that issue. Excellent bug fix.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Releases Updated Version of iOS 12.1.2 for iPhone

Search YouTube for iOS 12.1.2. One video says don’t update in the title, another describes new problems with the app switcher. Combine that with news that the update was rushed due to Qualcomm court battles and it was clear this wasn’t a typical safe 0.0.1 update.
You mean search for any update to pretty much anything to find someone complaining something? And nothing made clear about this not being safe or something like that, even if it wasn't all that typical.
What “app” though? The iOS 12 app? Umm...that’s an operating system.
[doublepost=1545458893][/doublepost]3.33 GBs is quite a big update for a x.x.2 update. I’m on an iPhone X.
That was just a collection of generic update statements that often get used for various updates.
As for something like 3.33 GB, that's not really an update and more along the lines of a full installer.
Not doing this update unless they push it out over the air. I’m not hooking my phone up to my Mac. That’s a draconian measure.
I would hold off of updating until the cell data issue gets resolved: https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordon...ellular-4g-cannot-load-internet/#4c9136611985
Apple has already release a minor update to 12.1.2 that I’m thinking addresses this issue. Before I jumped on the 12.1.3 beta, I personally did not have this issue.
I’m seeing a lot of articles saying don’t update to the latest iOS as you won’t have cell service.
I’m staying on iOS 12.

Seems like a safe course at this point (I'm holding at 12.1.1 which was good, for me at least). As gumbyjunior1 pointed out there's reports the update is taking down cellular data service (and possibly call service) for some users, not country specific, possibly also includes older phones than Xs / Xr's. Turning off automatic updates in "iTunes and App Store" for my fellow users in the house and deleting the 12.1.2 update off their phones afterward in General / Storage (they all had it waiting to be installed at this point).

In the software industry one of the things you try to avoid, alot, is pushing out a update blooper into production just as everyone is going on holiday. The odd thing is none of the Apple sites are following this.

Forbes has been crying wolf on essentially every single iOS update using the same clickbaity article titles for a while now, which unfortunately makes anything they have to say rather moot (even when they might actually have a real point). They undermined themselves essentially.
Apple forced the iOS 12.1.2 on me even though I have automatic software updates turned off. This also means they used my bandwidth unknowingly to download this update.
If Apple does this all the time, it likely explains network issues caused with multiple iOS devices. I'm pretty unhappy with Apple software these days!

How is that possible? I always have to agree to download an iOS update. I have automatic updates turned off also.
I thought so too, but I thought it hapoened before to me. I chalked it up as something I did by mistake though. This time though, I was very careful and rechecked that I had automatic updates turned off. I even tweeted to others how to disable it in Settings. I had a red badge indicator for days telling me that a new update was available. This morning when I tried to use my phone for the first time though, I noticed that I had to unlock my phone which kind of scared me since that happens after an update. I immediately noticed that the red bad update badge was gone from the Settings icon too. I looked at Software update setting again and was told I had the latest software 12.1.2 and can still see that automatic updates are turned off.
I'm peeved that the update happened but also that it used my bandwidth unknowingly.
Did anyone else notice this?
Downloading of updates while the phone is connected to a power source and is on WiFi has been around for a long time (and isn't something that is controlled by the user). Installation of updates has always required some sort of user interaction (or having automatic updates enabled these days).
Hah, admittedly... he could have posted /s
But... did he really need to? It’s obvious that he was mocking about. It is in no way an answer to the ‘original poster’. The OP is actually nobody else than macrumours... you mean he didn’t answer the question of fellow poster centauratlas.
You been doing any drinking, or smoking...?
That's just it. Downloading should not happen without explicit concent...especially with auto updates turned off. My bandwidth should not be clogged by multiple devices downloading unwanted buggy updates unless I give it permission—which I did not.
I'm letting you know that I did not give concent to install it either. I was very very very careful with the UI interaction so that it wouldn't install. I woke up however with it installed automatically.
I may never have noticed it, because I don't charge my phone overnight. And when I install updates I download them.
Apple should notify users of a download or at least provide an option in settings.
Actually, I had automatic updates enabled, and now I have a update waiting to be installed. I have no idea which build it is, and as I am happy with 12.1 on my 7 Plus, I don’t want it to be installed. For the reason that there have been reports of people loosing their mobile data connection after updating.
Can I deliberately delete the update file that was downloaded in the background, or will it lay in the memory and rot there untill a new update is downloaded?
I disabled automatic updates... so it may well be long time before I actually request a download of a newer update...

Found it: Settings/General/Storage
Half a gig or so was now purged

Based on what I'm seeing, it's just going to redownload again at some point, even if auto updates are disabled.
Do we have to go off WiFi at nighttime to prevent this?
It seems like the update process is a bit screwed up right now.
Installing won't happen without some user interaction (or enabling of auto install).
As for download, unfortunately it's been like that for a long time without any options and hasn't changed so far after all these years.
