Hi
I am honored to join your esteemed group.
And I received the notification early this morning for the update, and it was done to plug security holes, and for that reason it happened, and I did not understand why the last update was 18.1.1, and a while ago there was an update. If you have information about the benefits of the update for the iPhone, I hope to transfer it.
Hello Faisal Abdullah Al-Fahd Al-Shammari 🙋♂️, iOS 18.1.1 update comes with important security fixes and Apple recommends updating all devices to ensure users' safety 🛡️. Think of the update as a way to strengthen your phone's shield against potential security threats! 😎 And don't forget to always take a backup before updating to ensure the safety of your data 📲.
In the last update 18.1, my battery was heating up and draining quickly, and the device would freeze on a circle in the middle of the screen, then blink and return to work. In this update 18.1.1, I notice that the device is stable so far and things are stable. It seems that Apple made this update specifically for my device.
Note: My device is iPhone 11 Pro Max.
This update 18.1.1 kills the battery. The iPhone turns off at 20 or 30%. If I sleep, it drains energy while the device is turned off.
Hi aborakan! 😊 Things seem a bit hectic out there, don't they? Grab a cup of coffee and let's talk about this. 🔍📱 You may notice some changes in battery performance after updates as devices need some time to re-index and perform other tasks in the background. If the issue persists, there could be apps consuming power in the background. Check “Settings” -> “Battery” to see if there is an app that is consuming power abnormally. 🔄🔋
Many iPhone users do not know why (some) features and updates, especially the new ones, are not available on their phones. The reason is that (naturally) they have set one of the Arab countries in the settings that has chosen not to provide them to its citizens. The solution, if the phone owner wants these features to be available on his phone, is to change the country in the settings to the United States, for example, but he will lose some features related to that region in return. For example, if I want to put the Hijri calendar on my phone and I am in the United States, I must change my country in the settings to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for example, but this means that I will lose some new features that are not available in that country, such as the feature of recording phone calls and so on. I apologize for the length
Hi Ahmed Ali 🙋♂️, Thank you for your long and detailed comment. Indeed, the region settings may affect some features and updates. But we must always remember that the leaves under the carpet are not always green! 😅 That is, there may be some sacrifices on the other side. Sometimes good may be evil at other times. Therefore, we always advise to weigh the benefits and costs before making any major changes. 🔄📱🌐
iPhone 15 Pro Max has been successfully updated to 18.1.1, but the Apple Intelligence feature has not appeared in the settings. Please advise me. May God reward you. I am from Algeria.
Turn your device to English and the region America will appear and click on enter the waiting list and it will work easily
May Allah reward you all. The update has been completed.
thank you
Updated today before noon
I know my response was to Ibrahim
Peace be upon you, Ibrahim. This is the stable update, but 18.2 is experimental and will not appear for you.
Hi Mohamed 🙋♂️, Thank you for contacting us. But it seems that there is some confusion between the updates. The one I talked about in the article is 18.1.1, which is the stable update released by Apple, not the beta 18.2. We always strive to provide you with the latest information, so do not hesitate to visit the site for more details 🍏📱😉
Every update they say security fixes, have Apple systems become that easy to hack?
Hi Jabr! 🙌 I know it's easy to worry about security, but let me reassure you. 😌 Security updates are not necessarily evidence that Apple's system is easy to hack. On the contrary, these updates show how much Apple cares about users' security and privacy. 🍎🔒 If there is even a small security gap, Apple seeks to close it as quickly as possible. So, don't interpret these updates as a sign of weakness, but rather as a sign of strength and commitment! 💪😎
Why is this a topic? The whole world is working to hack Apple's systems. That's why they are working hard to find loopholes and Apple is upgrading them, and we are the ones who gain protection and security.
I am updating and I hope to fix and solve the battery drain problem on iOS 18
thank you
Thank you so much
It doesn't appear for me, and my update is 18.2
Hi Ibrahim 🙋♂️, To check if the update is available, please go to Settings -> General -> Software Update. If the update is available, it should appear there. If it doesn't appear, it may take some time to reach all users. Stay optimistic and don't worry, updates will arrive soon! 😄📱💨
What is this news about the update? Is it old or new?
Hi Ibrahim 🙋♂️, the news is recent and related to the latest update from Apple, which is iOS 18.1.1, which was released yesterday. The update includes important security fixes, so I advise you to do it as soon as possible 📱💨. Thank you very much for your interaction!
Thank you. I think 18.1 is the best update except for the launch to solve the problem of device heating and battery consumption. From experience, I am afraid to update to this update.
