Apple Unveils iOS 12.1.1: FaceTime Live Photos & Haptic Fun for iPhone XR

Apple released the latest update for iPhones, iOS 12.1.1, on Wednesday, Dec. 5. It introduces a few new features to iOS 12 as a whole. The software has been in beta testing since Halloween of this year, spending just over one month in the hands of beta testers.

Chief among the new features is Haptic Touch support for notifications on the iPhone XR. Until now, iPhone XR users had to sacrifice what was a 3D Touch-only feature — the ability to preview notifications. Now, iPhone XR users can achieve the same effect with just a long press.

Aside from that, everybody else will see the return of Live Photos during a FaceTime video call, as well as an easier to access flip camera and mute button for all FaceTime calls. Sprint users also get some VoLTE support.
