I have read about that. Sounds like it is already enabled in Europe? I am running b3 here in Scandinavia and the precision is 13 feet / 4 meters right now. Outside, of course.
How ironic, people get upset with too many updates and then when not enough updates. It's 12.1.1, the biggest change is the FaceTime swap camera button. Why are people so worked up about it?
May also include the ECG feature in iWatch and iHealth support for it.
Why do people keep saying this. eSIM is already enabled in US. I've used it. I had no choice but to use it when the fires burnt down all my local towers.
Thats more watchOS than iOS.
But thats not a feature of iOS. And very, very few people have mentioned that in this thread. People just want the update, for unspecified reasons.
because we want the newest and greatest and don't wanna wait..... lol
I've mentioned it repeatedly. As long as there are non-LTE versions of the Watch out there, it will depend to some extent on the iPhone. I am viewing 12.1.1 and WatchOS 5.1.2 as joined at the hip. One won't come without the other. I might be wrong, but I don't think so...
I'm not sure how thats entirely relevant to my point though? Obviously they will come out together, all watchOS and iOS updates come out together because they are joined at the hip. I don't think the watch will ever not require an iPhone. But with that being said, there is nothing groundbreaking in 12.1.1 that I would expect this hype from. Everyone wants something that really isn't a big deal because they are bored and within 24 hours everyone will want something else. Seems like an endlessly pointless hype train.
Agree for the most part. However, I think there may be code in 12.1.1 that supports the ECG functionality. And, even if not, if the WatchOS update is delayed for regulatory reasons related to the ECG app on the Watch, that'll hold everything else up, potentially. But as to the rest of 12.1.1, unless the Galileo thing is true, you're right: nothing earth shattering.
For me, 12.1.1 has been running smoother than 12.1 and I'm looking forward in getting off betas for a while.
Because the operators currently do not provide eSIMS except for AT&T sporadically.
I know it's active I have been using Trufone. But American operators are currently not issuing eSIMS - both Verizon and AT&T seem to be waiting for this update. As for T-Mobile who knows what they are doing.
I think they were supposed to release 12.1.1 today, but something must have stopped them. The reason I say this is because Apple Support on twitter just asked someone experiencing battery issues if they "updated to the newest version of iOS, iOS 12.1.1."
that's interesting, wonder what happened
[doublepost=1543959733][/doublepost]I think the problem is they wanna release watchOS same time and that is still being worked on for the ECG so that's the hold up, iOS is most likely ready
Not ruling anything out, but could also have been a typo, or potentially a reference to iOS 12.1.1 beta (as in asking if the user might be using that version in case that might have something to do with what was asked about).
