The official version of iOS 17.1.1 is released, these problems are finally fixed!

iOS 17.1.1 official version released

This morning, Apple pushed the official version of iOS 17.1.1, with the updated version number 21B91. This update mainly solves the problem that the iPhone 15 does not work when wirelessly charging in the car.

Some users have reported that using wireless charging on BMW cars caused Apple Pay and NFC functions to not work. After upgrading to the official version of iOS 17.1.1, this problem has been fixed. Therefore, it is recommended that BMW owners and iPhone 15 series users upgrade their devices.

In addition, the problem that some users reported that the lock screen weather widget could not display the snow icon normally has been fixed. Users who have encountered this problem before are recommended to upgrade.

Apple did not mention the previously reported problems such as unstable Wi-Fi connection and iPhone automatically shutting down when charging at night in this update.

If the version you are currently using causes the above problems on your iPhone, it is recommended that you upgrade to the official version of iOS 17.1.1. Since this update does not add any new features, other users can choose not to update.

At the same time, Apple also released the official version of watchOS 10.1.1, which mainly solves the problem that some Apple Watch models run out of battery faster than expected.

Apple develops new battery

According to foreign media ETNews, Apple is developing a new type of battery and plans to use it in devices starting in 2025 to significantly improve battery life.

Apple has reportedly been developing a new type of battery since 2018, actively seeking patents and hiring new people related to the project. Apple's goal is said to be to develop a completely new battery that significantly improves battery performance through "new materials that are completely different from existing materials."

Sources familiar with Apple's plans believe that the Apple Vision Pro headset has greatly increased Apple's need for high-performance batteries, with a battery life of just two hours. Other devices, such as the Apple Watch and iPad, have also seen significant improvements in battery life since their launch.

Apple's battery project was originally developed alongside its electric vehicle project, but mobile devices are now the primary target for the technology, which is expected to be added to Apple devices starting in 2025.
