Apple Quickly Releases New iPhone Update For 3 Phones Only – Forbes
When Apple released the most recent iPhone software update, iOS 18.3, it was for every iPhone from the iPhone XS onwards. You can read comprehensive details of what’s in it here, and whether you should upgrade to it here. Now, Apple has re-released the software with a new build number, for three iPhones only: iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. So, what’s going on and what should you do if you have an affected phone?Three Apple iPhones have just been updated again. The original update was released on Monday, Jan. 27 with build number 22D63. But on Monday, Feb. 3, Apple released iOS 18.3 with a new build number, 22D64. You wouldn’t need to know this unless you have one of the iPhone 11 series handsets, first released in fall 2019. If you do, and you go to the Settings app and choose Software Update, you’ll find the option to update to the new version.As to what’s in it, Apple hasn’t gone into detail. We know what’s not in it: the many Apple Intelligence changes that iOS 18.3 brought to the most recent iPhones. Only the iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max and iPhone 16 series are compatible with Apple Intelligence.So, the new version most likely is there to fix something that didn’t quite take in the first release, something that only the iPhone 11 series somehow continued to find a problem.The notes only point to issues other iPhones have seen fixed in the latest update, that is, these three things. First, the Calculator app now repeats the last mathematical operation when you tap the equals sign, something which it used to do before, and now can again. Second, it fixes an issue where the keyboard might disappear when initiating a typed Siri request. And third, the update Resolves an issue where audio playback continues until the song ends, even after closing Apple Music. Sucha weird one, that.If you have an iPhone 11 series, even if you upgraded to iOS 18.3 already, Apple is recommending you install this new version. As the similarity of build numbers suggests, it’s very close to the last one, only this time it’ll fix things, let’s hope.One Community. Many Voices. Create a free account to share your thoughts.
