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.

NOW I'm ready for the winter!
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?
