Technology major Apple released the new iOS 12.0.1 update to all eligible iPhones and iPads. It is an incremental firmware but comes with some critical fixes that certainly improve user experience on the newly-released iPhone XS series.
As per the official changelog, the iOS 12.0.1 resolves the iPhone XS charging bug. Some device owners complained that the device was not immediately charging after connecting lightning power cable. Also, Apple said the software fixes the issue that caused iPhone XS to rejoin a Wi-Fi network at 2.4GHz instead of 5GHz. Furthermore, it also resolves the random drop in Bluetooth connectivity in iPhones and iPads.
Here's how to install Apple iOS 12.0.1 on your iPhone or iPad:
Via OTA (Over-The-Air):
- 1. Settings >> General >> Software update
- [Tip: Users' who want to install the update directly on the device via OTA, make sure to clear enough device storage space and also make sure the device has more than 50% battery life, before downloading the new OS firmware]
Via iTunes
1. Back up your iPhone or iPad with either iCloud or via iTunes.
