iOS 11.2 was launched on Saturday by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, the move being a very surprising one, and that's because usually the releases of important versions take place only during the week. However, Apple hastened because a problem a iOS 11.1.2 was restarting iPhone and iPad randomly worldwide, and an iOS update was the only way to solve the problem globally.
iOS 11.2 solves this problem, but we are talking about a "cosmetic solution", that is, about a quick change made by Apple engineers so that restarts will no longer occur. The real issue that caused iOS 11.1.2 to randomly restart when apps displayed certain notifications has not been fixed, according to a developer.
He claims that iOS 11.2 still has that problem, with notification errors still appearing in the iOS logs, but random reboots no longer being triggered. Basically, if Apple has not solved the real problem because of which the iPhone and iPad were randomly restarting, there is a possibility that it will continue to be exploited by some applications.
Of course, no one knows how, or in what way, but if iOS 11.2.1 will not solve the real problem, then it is very possible that in a few weeks we will go through a similar episode. The whole situation is very embarrassing for those from Apple, but equally embarrassing is the fact that iOS 11.2 does not solve the real problem, but only patches it.
The plot thickens. Similar logs are generated by my iOS 11.2 iPhone, which is up-to-date. It seems like Apple patched over the Springboard crashing but the underlying calendar logic is still broken somewhere. pic.twitter.com/VA4fGTKMcn
