IOS 11.1 also brings with it a slew of accessibility improvements, including braille support for Grade 2 input, VoiceOver access to multi-page PDFs, better VoiceOver rotor actions for announcing incoming notifications, and an improved VoiceOver rotor actions menu when removing an app from the app switcher. This last fix might be particularly relevant to purchasers of the new iPhone X, who will doubtless spend some time restoring their iPhone backups to their shiny new devices. The improvements to iOS photo handling include fixes for bugs that made some photos appear blurry, slowed down Live Photo effect playback, and prevented some images from appearing in the People album after restoring from an iCloud backup. iOS 11.1’s emoji also include new gender-neutral characters and more clothing options. The new emoji include food types (pie and broccoli!), animals (giraffes and hedgehogs!), and mythical creatures (mermaids and vampires!), as well as what Apple describes as “more expressive smiley faces” (which means one with cartoon swearing). Interestingly, Apple’s note implies that it’s necessary only for iPhone 7 models and later and for iPad Pro 9.7-inch and later iPad Pro models. Among those is one for the much-publicized KRACK Wi-Fi exploit (see “ Wi-Fi Security Flaw Not As Bad As It’s KRACKed Up To Be,” 17 October 2017).
APPLE IOS 11.1 UPDATE
In addition, the update includes some twenty-odd security fixes. In the associated release notes, Apple highlights the addition of over 70 new emoji, along with fixes to photo handling, accessibility, and an assortment of other issues. Just ahead of the delivery of iPhone X shipments to its first lucky purchasers, Apple last week released iOS 11.1.
