In recent years, Apple has maintained a system of sending periodic updates to developers. Once it releases the final version of an update, it sends the next trial to developers. This is what happened last month, after the release of iOS 12, Apple sent the beta 12.1 to developers, as well as the public version of it later. Yesterday, Apple sent the second trial version of the update. So what's new in the upcoming iOS 12.1. And when is it expected to be issued?

The iOS 12.1 update is a minor major update, so it is expected to include many features and fixes, but some of them may only be known about the release of the final version and the list of changes from Apple. But this is a list of the most popular features that I have found so far:
1
FaceTime group conversations: Apple finally brought back the group FaceTime chat feature, which was one of the main features in the WWDC conference and the trial version, and then suddenly, for no known reason, Apple deleted it from the latest iOS 12 and final beta. But the feature is usually back in iOS 12.1 beta. Will it be issued or postponed again?

2
Binary chip: Although the iPhone XS is available in the market, until this moment, Apple has not supported the virtual chip feature in the system itself; But with iOS 12.1 the feature became available; But of course that is if you are lucky and live in the few countries that support it.

More than 70 new emojisIn the second trial version, Apple added more than 70 new emoji to the system.

Solve the shipping problemA number of XS users have encountered a strange problem, which is that their phone does not charge unless you wake up the screen. The problem was the cause of a fierce attack on Apple on the communication sites, but the iOS 12.1 update came to solve this problem.
5
XS camera features: At the recent Apple conference, some of the features of the XS camera were reviewed, but they were not fully released, such as the new depth control feature. The feature only works on previously captured portraits, but with iOS 12.1 demo, the feature now works directly before shooting so that you can control before taking the picture.

No negative impact on performanceIt seems that Apple is planning to always reach the highest performance to dispel the myth that the more devices that happen to become slower. The first beta update occurred with a slight decrease in performance, but with the second beta update, the system speed returned to the same, and even with a slight improvement, and perhaps this is an indication that the following updates may witness further improvement.

Colorful face of the watchApple added a number of new faces to the watch, colored under the name Color, where you can choose between more than 50 different colors in three different shapes.

When will the update be released?
In traditional circumstances, Apple issues a trial update 0.1 directly after the iPhone conference, as happened with us here in iOS 12.1, then the trial version will follow for about a month until Apple holds the iPad conference, which comes with exclusive advantages and becomes available only as of this beta update and Apple Launched with the unveiling of the new iPad. That is, the trial system is supposed to continue until the end of this month (we expect the Apple conference in the third or fourth week). That is, the update may be released at the end of October or in the last week of that. It is reported that iOS 12.1 came in the details of its codes that there is a new iPad that comes with a depth camera, support for the USB C port, and other advantages; That is, 12.1 is the update that will be released by the iPad.
But
The update includes exceptional things such as activating the dual-chip feature and most importantly fixing the charging problem. Is it possible for Apple to leave its users for a month with a problem in charging and without activating the virtual chip? It is logical that Apple has two options, the first is to speed up the release of iOS 12.1, and the second is what we expect Apple to release within days or even hours of the 12.01 update to fix the charging problem and thus the lag of iOS 12.1 does not cause any problems. Yes, the percentage of those affected is small, but it is a problem, and with a customer who bought the most expensive phone in the world early.
What do you think about the iOS 12.1 beta update? Do you expect Apple to launch 12.01 soon to cure the charging problem, or delay it to 12.1 at the end of the month?
