What’s in iOS 11.2?
The biggest new feature of
iOS 11.2 is Apple Pay Cash (only in the U.S., for now). Apple's
person-to-person payment system works within iMessage and lets you instantly
and directly send money to other iOS users.
iOS 11.2 also speeds up the
maximum rate of wireless charging on iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and X. These phones
shipped with support for the Qi standard up to 5 watts, but 11.2 bumps it up to
7.5 watts. That's technically faster than the in-box adapter, which is infamously slow. But of course, you'll need a Qi-based
wireless charger that properly supports rates up to 7.5 watts to notice the
difference.
You'll also notice the new ability to control AirPlay 2 devices
in Control Center. You can quickly switch between controlling multiple
different playback destinations independently. This is important groundwork for
the coming HomePod release, but it works with Apple TV (4th
generation or 4K) right now if you update that device to the tvOS 11.2 as well.
This update adds three new live wallpapers for the iPhone X. It
also brings a change for developers who offer recurring subscriptions—they'll
be able to charge introductory rates. For example, a service that costs $10 a
month could be free for the first two weeks, or $5 for the first month. This
change should affect tvOS 11.2 as well, so all those subscription streaming
services might get introductory deals.
There's a new "Sports" section in the TV app.
The Podcasts app can now advance automatically to the next
episode of the same show.
