Apple Releasing iOS 12.0.1 With Fixes for Wi-Fi 2.4GHz Bug, Lightning Charging Issue [Update: Now Available]

[Guda.FL]

god bless, some of the ui positioning changes felt more out of place in favor of emoji shortcuts etc.

 

[C DM]

Still not available...

OTA usually takes a little while to show up.

 

[DribbleCastle]

This change has annoyed the **** out of me when typing on the iPad! Glad they'll be reverting it back to how it was on iOS 11.

Agreed. Thank god!

 

[Deeznuts.]

OTA is out.

How did MacRumors get this info before the official release?

Plot twist: China didn't hack Apple's servers with tiny chips; MacRumors did.

- Restores the original position of the ".?123" key on the iPad keyboard

This one drove me bananas. Glad they've reverted the change.

81.4MB on SE - OTA
79.9MB on 5S

I'll let you know PSAC!

Hoping it fixes battery issues on the iPhone SE.

What kind of issues are you experiencing? Battery drain?

Its time to upgrade to Xr

I'm getting the X instead, you can get a brand new device for £700 on eBay, not a bad deal at all.

wonder if peope that named the 2.4 and 5 wifi band had this problem ?

9 to 5 Mac posted about it first and they followed that report. They seem to frequently post about upcoming releases earlier in the day before they come out.

 

[dingle19]

Stole it from 9to5 Mac of course.

lol, i was going to say the same thing

 

[nelsonammo]

Aw come on, I just got used to the new orientation of the ".123" button, now they're switching it back? LOL, 1st world problems.

 

[alpi123]

If your wifi router has the 2.4g and 5g bands. For me it was when I am connected to the 5g band. its just spins and won't connect and drops out and connects to the slower 2.4g.

Oh, I see, thank you. My router does have 5G network but I have never used it and I think my phone doesn't recognize it but my laptop does.

There was no source. So I was confused

 

[Cordorb]

haha no appleinsider

 

[Porco]

Oh my goodness, I am unreasonably happy about the .?123 button moving back on the iPad!

 

[CACTUARU]

Alas, no [stated] fix for LTE issues.

Right? We need a fix!

Its time to upgrade to Xr

For some people, that is not an option. when anything bigger that an SE is too big to hold in one hand. I retired my SE just so I could keep a spare for the SO. When you are @ best buy and the SO just about drops a 7 because it doesnt fit right in the hand, no, its NOT time to buy a Xr

yes installing as I write this, while my issues were never as severe as some (2.4 was solid and all my iPhones tended to go to it if I were far away or coming back home, and LTE is weak in neighborhood on all phones (both Verizon and AT&T) calls made it). What I noticed mostly was the tendency more than ever on other phones of preferring my 2.4ghz band over 5 and the 5 not working well outside of house (it was weak there already on earlier phones). Will be interesting to see what this does.

 

[BaccaBossMC]

2.4GHz issue isn't limited to XS, happened on my 6S Plus and my iPad Pro too.

 

[JungleNYC]

Can we get a CAMERA FIX while we're at it? The Xs "glamour shots" heavy-handed auto noise reduction is no bueno.

 

[archvile]

Nope. Wi-Fi has always been as fast as ever. I've found the SSID sharing between 2.4GHz and 5GHz rarely works like it should, not just with Apple devices but with anything. I think a lot of it depends on the router's firmware too.
