As we reported in the last few hours, iPhone 16 and 16 Pro users have been suffering from a series of quite annoying problems since their launch, such as unexpected reboots. This bug, which has generated a lot of commotion, finally has a solution with the latest version of the operating system.
With the arrival of the Release Candidate version (final beta version) of iOS 18.1, Apple has tackled the problem at its roots.
What’s new in iOS 18.1
The problem, reported by several users since the first day of availability of the new iPhone models, mainly affected those devices that were used intensively, although it was also observed during StandBy mode. The complaints were varied: from screens that they were frozen or delays in touch response, to sudden restarts, with some users reporting between 10 and 20 restarts daily.
Apple, aware of the magnitude of the problem, has quickly worked on the solution, included in the latest version of the iOS 18.1 software. This bug was addressed in the release candidate notes, released on Monday, confirming that the reboot problem has been resolved, for the peace of mind of users who had already begun to lose patience.
However, this is not the only bug that Apple has fixed with iOS 18.1. The update brings with it other solutions that address different minor bugs that were also affecting the terminals.
Among the problems solved is one that affected the Podcasts appwhere some unplayed episodes were marked as having already been played, resulting in a confusing experience for those trying to catch up on their favorite shows.
Goodbye to restarting iPhones
In addition, the update also fixes a bug in the Photos application, related to the playback of 4K videos at 60 frames per second. Some users had reported that when fast forwarding or rewinding videos, their devices began to experience overheating issues or stuttering occurred during playback. This bug, especially annoying for content creators who use the iPhone 16 to record high-quality videos, has been addressed and resolved.
Another important bug that has been corrected is one that affected digital car keys. Some users who had restored their iPhone from a backup or transferred its content from another device found that digital keys They didn’t unlock or start your vehicle using the passive entry feature. This failure compromised the functionality of the digital keys, which generated concern among users of this cutting-edge technology.
iOS 18.1 not only fixes bugs such as random reboots on the iPhone 16, but also introduces new features to Apple Intelligence, improving machine learning tasks and recommendations. Although full details have yet to be revealed, Apple continues to demonstrate its commitment to continually improving its devices by responding quickly to issues. If you have not yet updated, it is recommended to do so to avoid errors. The update is available under “Software Update” in the device settings.
