Apple recently launched the newest iOS 11 update. In iOS 11.2 there are significant changes compared to previous versions of iOS 11.
The most significant novelty is intrusion Apple Pay Cash, the option that will allow it sending and receiving money through messages (iMessages). I also mentioned this service in a previous article, in which I "predicted" the introduction Apple Pay Cash with the release of iOS 11.2. Unfortunately, this service is only available in the USA and only at banks that agree Apple Pay. In the near future, Apple will expand Apple Pay Cash in other countries where there are banks that accept Apple Pay.
It should not be a reason to be upset or not to do this update, if in your country Apple Pay not available. In addition to this novelty, iOS 11.2 also brings a very large series of bug fixes and performance improvements for compatible devices. iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
For owners iPhone 8, 8 iPhone Plus si iPhone X added fast charging support from 5W at 7.5W. Moreover, three new ones are introduced for iPhone X Live wallpapers.
