Apple releases iOS 11.1.2 to fix cold weather & video distortion trouble on iPhone X

Apple on Thursday issued an incremental iOS 11.1.2 update, mainly intended to solve complaints about the iPhone X temporarily failing to respond to touch in cold weather.

Also solved is a problem with distortions in videos and Live Photos shot on the phone, Apple said in release notes. The update should be available over-the-air through the Software Update menu in the iOS Settings app, or else by connecting a device to iTunes on a Mac or Windows PC.

Just last week Apple released iOS 11.1.1, fixing the infamous "i" autocorrect bug, as well as a problem with "Hey Siri."

The company remains at work on a bigger point release, iOS 11.2, which will enable 7.5W wireless charging on the iPhone 8 and X, and launch the long-awaited Apple Pay Cash, enabling direct money transfers through Messages.

Pretty soon we’ll be getting weekly bug fixes from Apple.

I have an issue where if I load Apple Notes on my iPhone X, it will freeze up.  The phone doesn’t lock up, just the application.  I can force close it and reload it, frequently to see it freeze up again.  It freezes close to 100% of the time when I use the search box at the top of Notes.  Once it freezes, if I wait long enough (minutes), it will start working again.  I have, of course, tried rebooting my phone.

Any idea whether this is a known issue?

The fixes are only for iPhone X, and there is no security patches in this release. So why is it available as an update on my iPad Pro 2 12.9 and my iPhone 7?

It is to make sure you are on the same release-level as everyone else on the iOS unified platform of code. Even if nothing in the code-update directly benefits your particular model(s).
