Apple has just released iOS 17.1.1, a new software update for recent iPhone models that addresses several issues and is designed to keep your smartphone running smoothly.<\/p>\n

The update comes only two weeks after iOS 17.1 hit iPhones. That patch brought a few interesting new features such as allowing AirDrop transfers to continue over a cellular or Wi-Fi connection when out of Bluetooth range, plus additions to Apple Music including being able to favourite songs, albums and playlists, and song suggestions at the end of playlists (just like on Spotify).<\/p>\n

iOS 17.1.1 is a smaller update by comparison but could be a godsend if you charge your iPhone in the car. Apple said: \u201cIn rare circumstances, Apple Pay and other NFC features may become unavailable on iPhone 15 models after wireless charging in certain cars\u201d. Many modern cars have wireless charging pads, but it looks like a bug was stopping you being able to jump out your ride and pay for your coffee on the new iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro as something was messing with Apple Pay.<\/p>\n

Apple announce all products will be 'Net Zero' by 2030<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve been experiencing that, a quick dive into your Settings app and tapping Software Update will show you have iOS 17.1.1 sitting there waiting for you to install. It\u2019s not just for iPhone 15 though, with the changes stretching back to iPhones released since 2018. Here are all the iPhones that can download the latest update:<\/p>\n
