In September, Apple released three interim updates to address battery issues. However, these updates did not fully resolve the problem, and battery life concerns persisted. With the release of iOS 11.1, significant improvements have been made to battery performance, finally addressing this long-standing issue.
In addition to these enhancements, iOS 11.1 introduces several new features. Here’s what’s new:
- New Emojis: The update includes a variety of new emojis with diverse facial expressions.
- Safari Enhancements: A refreshed animation allows users to scroll to the top of a webpage via the status bar.
- Lock Screen Animation: The lock screen animation has been updated for a smoother experience.
- Assistive Touch Improvements: New touch functionality has been added to Assistive Touch, increasing accessibility.
- 3D Touch App Switcher: The 3D Touch app switcher feature, which was removed with iOS 11, has been reinstated.
This update not only fixes critical issues but also enhances the overall user experience with these new features and refinements.
