Apple releases iOS 11.0.2 to the public
A week after the release of iOS 11.0.1, and two weeks after the public roll-out of iOS 11, Apple is today pushing out iOS 11.0.2 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users.
The bug fixing update brings performance improvements and a fix to iPhone 8 users who reported hearing crackling/static noise coming from the earpiece of their device during phone calls and FaceTime calls.
Apple notes that iOS 11.0.2 brings the following…
– Fixes an issue where crackling sounds may occur during calls for a small number of iPhone 8 and 8 Plus devices
– Addresses an issue that could cause some photos to become hidden
– Fixes an issue where attachments in S/MIME encrypted emails would not open
iOS 11 has added an array of new features, including a enhanced fully redesigned App Store. iOS 11 improves the Photos app by adding the ability to loop Live Photos, and to create long-exposure pictures as well as implementing a new compression method known as HEIF that offers higher quality images at half the storage size on devices.
Control Centre receives a huge redesign with the launch of iOS 11, putting all controls onto one page and adding 3D Touch capabilities. – Maps has a new feature called Do Not Disturb While Driving that uses Bluetooth and a Wi-Fi doppler effect to automatically enable a block to stop notifications from disturbing the user while behind the wheel.
