Let’s see what changes with the arrival of these new versions!
Battery problem in Apple Watch
Starting with the most important update at the time, the arrival of watchOS 10.1.1 as promised fixes the battery drain issue on Apple Watches. It is very likely that this update will also solve the issue of overheating during recharging which was also affecting some watches, and for this reason, it was difficult to even top up their battery.
This update provides important bug fixes and addresses an issue that may cause the battery to drain more quickly for some people.
iPhone NFC failed
Speaking of the systems that provide iPhone and iPad devices, the updates arrive to correct a serious problem that may affect the NFC chip.1 From iPhone 15.
As mentioned earlier, there was an issue with some new models associated with the use of the company’s wireless car charger. BMW, which was “breaking” the devices’ NFC chip. When you recharge your iPhone using the wireless base of these devices, the device can access the network Recovery mode From iOS. After that, it was no longer possible to do anything with the NFC chip, which included enrolling new cards in Apple Pay and even using the Car Key feature (Car keys).
With the launch of these new versions of the systems, Apple promises to correct this.
This update provides bug fixes for iPhone, including:
- In rare cases, Apple Pay and other NFC features may not be available on iPhone 15 models after using wireless charging in some vehicles.
- The weather widget on the lock screen may not display snow properly.
In addition to this NFC-related bug, Apple has also fixed another bug that apparently didn’t affect anyone living in Brazil. ❄️🤪
