Apple enthusiasts, rejoice! The tech giant has rolled out an incremental update, iOS 17.1.1, aimed at enhancing the user experience on iPhone 15 models. While the update may be minor in scale, it packs a punch when it comes to resolving two irritating issues. Here’s what you need to know:
1. Wireless Charging Woes Put to Rest
If you’ve been grappling with wireless charging problems on your iPhone 15, iOS 17.1.1 is the answer to your prayers. The update addresses an issue where Apple Pay and other NFC features could go haywire after wireless charging in specific car models. Say goodbye to the frustration of unresponsive NFC features – Apple has your back!
2. Weather Widget Woes in Winter
For those who rely on the lock screen weather widget, there’s good news. iOS 17.1.1 rectifies an anomaly where the Weather Lock Screen widget failed to accurately display snow. No more waking up to sunny forecasts during a winter wonderland – you’ll now get the accurate weather information you need.
How to Get the Update of iOS 17.1.1
Updating your iPhone to iOS 17.1.1 is a breeze. Simply head to Settings > General > Software Update. The download size for this minor upgrade is a manageable 335MB, so you won’t be kept waiting for long. However, it’s always wise to back up your device before initiating any update, just in case.
What Else to Expect
While iOS 17.1.1 may focus on bug fixes, it’s worth noting that Apple is concurrently working on iOS 17.2, a larger-scale software update for iPhone users. Meanwhile, you can still enjoy the features introduced in the recent iOS 17.1 release, including AirDrop over the internet, Album to Photo Shuffle for the lock screen, Extended Wallpaper options, and exciting enhancements to the Music app.
Stay tuned for more updates, and make sure your iPhone is running smoothly with the latest iOS 17.1.1 release. Happy updating!
