Apple releases iOS 11.1.1 update with 'i' autocorrect fix, 'Hey Siri' bug repair

Last updated

Apple has released another "sub-point" update to iOS 11, with iOS 11.1.1 addressing the "i" bug that caused the letter to be autocorrected to "A" and a question mark.

Apple claims that the update fixes an issue with keyboard auto-correct, and also solves an issue where "Hey Siri" stopped working. Following installation, one AppleInsider device experiencing the "i" autocorrect bug had no issues — and all instances of it in past messages were eradicated.

The latest update is available through the traditional update method in the Software Update settings option. It is a 44.6MB download on an iPhone 7 Plus.

Apple's iOS 11 features includes ARKit, a revamped Control Center with deep 3D Touch support, Do Not Disturb When Driving, a new look for the App Store, a new voice for Siri, and more. It saw three "sub-point" updates before the iOS 11.1 update.

The iOS 11.1 update implemented a fix for the KRACK wi-fi, repaired an assortment of accessibility options, added more emoji, and rectified some issues with Photos.

Try the app “PCalc”. It’s great.

Sure it can. Just enter the figures a little slower or use Siri. That you can get the sum of 24 with that addition doesn't mean you can't get the correct answer.

Most if not all third party calc apps won't do that because there is no animation compared to Apple's app.

I will say that anybody used to quickly crunching numbers shouldn't use that calculator for critical crunching lest they experience the bug in their haste. In that case I'd be using a dedicated calculator anyway.

Or Calc Pro (with unit conversions, world currencies, etc.).
