Apple releases iOS 12.1.2 update, hones in on eSIM fixes, potential Qualcomm patent issues

Almost in step with recent rumors as to Apple’s seeking to resolve patent issues with Qualcomm and to have its iPhones back in the Chinese marketplace, Apple has released iOS 12.1.2.

The update, which weighs in as an approximately 80 megabyte download, offers the following fixes and changes:


– Fixes bugs with eSIM activation for iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max.

– Addresses an issue that could affect cellular connectivity in Turkey for iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max.

The update may also include software tweaks in China that remove patented Qualcomm functionality. A Chinese court last week issued an iPhone sales ban on certain devices in China after ruling that Apple had infringed on two Qualcomm patents related to resizing and reformatting photos and managing applications using a touch screen when using apps.

As always, the iOS update can be installed through the General -> Software Update tab in Settings and can also be installed via iTunes.

If you’ve tried the iOS 12.1.2 update and have any feedback about it, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
