iPhone users can download the latest update now. The company from Cupertino has released iOS 16.1.2, in which one of the most important novelties of the iPhone 14 has been improved.
This is another update for this month
Admittedly, releasing two sets of patches to fix reported bugs in one month is not a good sign of software quality. Well, iOS 16, although it initially seemed like a polished operating system, in the end, turned out to be just average.
In early November, we reported the iOS 16.1.1 update, and now Apple has released iOS 16.1.2. Yes, it is nice that the company responds efficiently to reported problems and tries to remove them, but on the other hand, it is a pity that they were not detected during beta testing.
What's new in iOS 16.1.2?
According to official information, iOS 16.1.2 includes the following fixes:
- Greater compatibility with mobile network operators.
- Optimizations for crash detection on iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models.
The second point deserves attention and should be considered important. Well, we are talking about a function that in certain scenarios can save lives - of course, when it works properly.
It is not clear what exactly the "optimizations" mentioned by Apple mean, but it is possible that it is about, among other things, the problem of incorrect detection of accidents. Recently, we could hear about cases where the iPhone 14 identified a roller coaster ride as a car accident and unnecessarily called the services.
It is possible that "optimizations" also mean greater correctness and accuracy in detecting actual car accidents. So far, some tests have shown that this feature does not always recognize an accident, so it cannot be said that it works as intended.
iOS 16.1.2 is now available for all supported iPhones. It is worth noting that the update - according to Apple - includes important security fixes. Therefore, all iPhone owners should download it, not just users of models from the 14 line.
