IOS IRONS OUT BUGS

-

APPLE fans are rejoicing online after the company released the first major update to iOS 11 since its release in September.

The iOS 11 operating system, which debuted alongside the iPhone 8, has been much maligned for various bugs and appearing to rapidly drain the battery.

The new update has fixes to a number of bugs and improvemen­ts to security. Most importantl­y, it includes a patch for the “Krack” Wi-Fi hack vulnerabil­ity revealed a few weeks ago.

The iOS 11.1 download comes with 70 new emoji characters, which were previously unveiled by Apple in July. Among the additional characters are new sporting activities like rock climbing and curling, as well as mythical creatures such as wizards, fairies, mermaids and vampires.
