Apple Accused Of Knowing About the Bug that Kills Data from iOS 12.1.1 before the Update was launched

The tech giant founded by Steve Jobs is in the centre of a big scandal nowadays. Users who had their mobile data connectivity compromised by iOS 12.1.1 accuse Apple of knowing that this will happen even before the big launch. The company doesn’t seem willing to take responsibility, so it doesn’t mention anything about fixing this flaw.

The information was made public through a report recently published by Forbes. It looks like several iPhone owners noticed mal-functionalities within their cellular data after updating their devices to iOS 12.1.1. The users who faced this problem also noticed that their smartphones showed signs of unusual behaviour.

The problem doesn’t affect all users, but it still needs to be fixed

Some voices from the iPhone community say that it’s possible to browse the Internet by using Safari, but this method doesn’t work for those who are trying to connect by using apps. Other members of the same community state that users need Wi-Fi connection for accessing the Internet, regardless of the apps or browser installed on an iPhone with iOS 12.1.1.

Whatever the reason might be, it looks like there is no possible fix for this bug right now. Users who experience the mentioned data connection issue are advised to contact Apple and ask for their support in solving this matter.

Contacting Apple might not be the solution, because chances are that the company had already known about the bug. According to some opinions, they had been aware of it even before the new OS was released. Some rumours say that several beta testers reported the issue while the latest iOS version was still under development.

The Cupertino-based company hasn’t made any announcement regarding a possible bug fix, so we cannot say when and if it will happen. Users might have to wait until the next update, but this depends on the number of affected devices.

iOS 12.1.1 Is Now Available to Download – Here Is What The Update Brings

Apple has officially released iOS 12.1.1. The update comes with several new additions and it even brings back some features. However, the most exciting thing about the update remains the eSIM support. Dual sim is a feature which was missing from iPhones up until the release of the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max.

Dual SIM support

In theory, dual SIM support was supposed to be available for iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max with the iOS 12 update. Nonetheless, dual SIM support is a bit different when it comes to Apple. The new iPhones can only use one nano-SIM card. Those who want to use a second card can only use that SIM through eSIM technology. Therefore, the iOS 12.1.1 update was needed so that US iPhones can use the dual SIM feature.

AT&T is the only carrier offering the feature at the moment. Nonetheless, other carriers will join them once more iOS 12 updates will be released.

Other features

The iOS 12.1.1 update comes with other features as well. This update brings back one of the most useful FaceTime features. Before iOS 12 was released, users were able to flip the camera during a FaceTime call with just a single tap. However, this feature was removed by the iOS 12 update, and users were not happy with this decision. Luckily for them, the iOS 12.1.1 update brings back this feature.

If you have an iPhone make sure that you install the iOS 12.1.1. It is very important to keep your phone up to date, as the latest iOS version also come with bug fixes. The latest update solves some issues related to Face ID, which makes it very useful for the iPhones X or later.
