iOS 12.1 Beta Includes Fix for iOS 12 iPhone and iPad Charging Issue

The second beta of iOS 12.1, which was released this morning, includes a
fix for a charging issue affecting the iPhone XS, XS Max, and other iOS
devices.

Discovered following the launch of the two new iPhones and highlighted over
the weekend, the charging bug causes some iPhone and iPad devices to refuse
to charge over a Lightning connection when the screen is not activated.

According to iMore's Rene Ritchie, the new iOS 12.1 beta fixes the issue so
iOS users will no longer need to double check to make sure their devices
are charging after being plugged in.

The bug does not affect all iPhones and iPads, but those who are impacted
have seen their devices fail to charge over Lightning when plugged in while
the iPhone is asleep.

Tapping the iPhone to wake it up in this situation resumes charging, but an
iPhone that is affected and plugged in with the screen deactivated can
refuse to charge, resulting in uncertainty over whether or not a device is
actually charging.

While this issue originally came to light because of complaints from iPhone
XS and iPhone XS Max owners, it appears it was widespread and affected many
devices running iOS 12.

It's interesting that everyone else has already reported, what Jolly Roger
is, many days later, just slowly getting thru his inch-thick empty skull.

In fact, I was the first one to report this problem to Jolly Roger.
Only he's so stupid, he missed it for days and days on end.

Only now, is Jolly Roger finally comprehending Apple fucked up again.

*He proves in every post that, yes, Jolly Roger _is_ that stupid!*

Given the last time something like this happened, Apple was forced to
explain the secret throttling (albeit four months later) and that Jolly
Roger then said the same thing, it's interesting that Jolly Roger
consistently proves to be so stupid, that he hasn't learned a single thing
in the interim.

*At least Apple learned to not let the ill will fester and foment again!*

Hehehhehheh ...

Notwithstanding that even Apple NEVER RECOMMENDS users with only one phone
to even *touch* a beta iOS release, it's interesting that Jolly Roger is so
foolish as to insinuate that *millions of unsuspecting users* should now
become beta testers for Apple.

*Apple now asks *every single user* to risk their phones, as beta testers!*

*About 80% of the new phones were affected based on the published tests.*

Only Jolly Roger would be so stupid as to insinuate that a *beta release*
of iOS is what is now recommended for *millions* of unsuspecting customers.

HINT: Even the full release is so full of bugs that any intelligent person
would wait *months* before bothering to be Apple's iOS-testing guinea pig.

*Wow. Amazing. Jolly Roger wrote an actual true statement. OMG.*

*Wow. Two factually correct statements from Jolly Roger in a row!*

Hint: He's cutting and pasting, since facts are beyond his capabilities.

Wow. Three factually correct statements from Jolly Roger in a row.

He must be cutting and pasting - since Jolly Roger is almost never
factually correct!

*Apple Apologists have no defense against facts.*

This idiot Jolly Roger constantly brings up his off-topic moronic politics.

*Jolly Roger's own words prove he owns the brain of a fifth grader.*

Yep, just another nothing-gate for trolls to bitch about. Personally I
never saw the issue at all, nor the supposedly weak connection issue.

I actually did consider switching since the Note 9 is so good and with the
various discounts out there because of slow sales, make it quite a bit
cheaper. But then no Apple ecosystem and all the goodies that go along with
that, coupled with no more than 2 late OS upgrades which is typical of
Samsung. Just couldn’t pull the trigger.

Plugging in is so 2017.
