There is no rest for Apple developers these days after the tech company seeded the first iOS 8.1.1 beta to these experts.
Following the initial iOS 8 release, Apple came up with two quick updates with fixes and improvements on 3 November 2014, including iOS 8.0.1 and iOS 8.0.2 (which was supposed to fix issues caused by iOS 8.0.1). No specific details have been revealed so far, but if it just a minor update, then probably nobody will see anything earthshaking added to Apple's mobile OS.
As 9to5Mac reports, iOS 8.1.1 isn’t supposed to be a major update for iOS 8 — Apple is said to be working on a couple of bigger updates including iOS 8.2 and iOS 8.3 — though it will to bring improved performance to older devices that run iOS 8.
However, there was one report that says one change concerns the Health app introduced in iOS 8. According to AppleInsider, the display of blood glucose data has been temporarily disabled for the app. Disabling that data for now will allow Apple to support devices that display the information in a unit of measurement known as mmol/L, or millimoles per liter, which is a standard way of measuring such levels.
Since this is just the initial beta of iOS 8.1.1, Apple may have more to add before the final release rolls out to users, but the company appears to be set with iOS 8.1 for now following a series of bugs and mishaps with prior versions of iOS 8.
Released on 17 September, iOS 8 was saddled with some technical problems. Many iPhone 4s and iPad 2 owners complained about performance issues after upgrading to iOS 8.
This could have prompted Apple to launch iOS 8.0.1 a week later. The update, however, was even more problematic as users soon started griping that they could no longer use the Touch ID fingerprint sensor or connect to cell networks.
As a result, Apple was forced to pull the new update and push out iOS 8.0.2. The version appeared to resolve most of the issues, though some users still complained of Bluetooth connectivity failures among other things.
Apple rolled out iOS 8.1 on 20 October, which corrected the Bluetooth problem as well as a number of other glitches. However, some people have still reported issues with Wi-Fi, the performance of the Safari browser, and the usual battery drain. So iOS 8.1.1 may address some of these items.
