iOS 15.1.1 Bug Fixes

The release notes mention that the iPhone 13 drop call issue has been addressed.

In fact the exact quote is

“improves call drop performance on iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models.”

So, call dropping is seen as a performance, that has to be improved. Doesn’t ‘addresses unexpected call drop issue’ make more sense?

Anyway, other bugs might have been addressed too even though not mention in the update log. If you notice anything else that got fixed use the comments section and share it with us. We will update the info here.

iOS 15.1.1 Not Available?

Are you trying to update to iOS 15.1.1 but the update doesn’t show up in Settings? Here are a couple of reasons:

1. iPhone Not Compatible

As mentioned above, this update is only for the iPhone 12, 12 mini, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max and iPhone 13, 13 mini,13 Pro, 13 Pro Max.

Why? Because it addresses an issue with calls being dropped on the above mentioned models. Most likely its hardware like modem or other component that’s causing this issue and its only available on the iPhone 12 and 13 Series.

2. iOS 15.2 Beta

If you updated your iPhone to an iOS 15.2 beta version you won’t get iOS 15.1.1 either. That’s because your device already jumped to iOS 15.2. You would need to downgrade to iOS 15.1 to be able to get this update.

Fact: Most likely Apple has released iOS 15.1.1 with improvements that are already included in iOS 15.2 Beta 3, but many users needed access to them right now through a public version. So instead of waiting until iOS 15.2 is ready for the public release, Apple has chose this minor update to rush the drop call fix out.
