Ten days ago, Apple released a brand new iOS 8.1.2 update for iPhone, yet another bug fixer aimed at curtailing iOS 8 problems. Today, we want to take a look at what you need to know about the iPhone 5 iOS 8.1.2 update, a small but important update that’s currently available to those that own the aging former flagship.
Those who have owned the iPhone 5 since it came out back in 2012 have been through numerous software updates. Apple’s iPhone 5 arrived with iOS 6 on board but the device has since shifted to iOS 7 and now Apple’s iOS 8 update. iPhones typically are updated for three years before they’re kicked to the curb which means that the iPhone 5 may only have one update left in the tank.
For now, iPhone 5 users must contend with iOS 8, an update that delivered a number of new features to the iPhone 5 but one that also came with a host of new problems. iOS 8 problems emerged shortly after the iOS 8.0 release in September and iPhone 5 users in particular have been vocal about the problems plaguing their device on iOS 8.
Through a series of iOS 8 updates, Apple’s attempted to crush lingering iOS 8 problems. iOS 8.0.1 and iOS 8.0.2 eradicated a great number of issues, as did the iOS 8.1 update that emerged on October 20th. iOS 8.1.1 and more recently, iOS 8.1.2, both attempted to do the same. iOS 8.1.2, like the iOS 8.1.1 update before it, is a small bug fix update.
Apple’s iOS 8 track record has some people nervous about making the move to iOS 8.1.2. It doesn’t help that there are iPhone 5 users complaining about perceived iOS 8.1.2 problems. With all of that in mind, we want to take a final, detailed look at the iPhone 5 iOS 8.1.2 update as we head into the holidays and into the new year.
