Yesterday (8) Apple released iOS 17.1.1 Along with the iPadOS 17.1.1 update, the watchOS 10.1.1 update is also released in response to the abnormal power consumption problem of watchOS 10.1 reported by Apple Watch users. This problem has previously affected many models, including the new Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Ultra 2, and even the early Apple Watch Series 4. Therefore, if you find that your Apple Watch is consuming power abnormally quickly, it is strongly recommended to update watchOS 10.1.1!
watchOS 10.1.1 update released, fixes issue of faster battery consumption
In addition to the iPhone, after each software update, users not only care about whether the bugs in the old version have been fixed, but also more and more people are concerned about whether the device’s power consumption problems will become more serious after the update, and this is of course no exception for the Apple Watch.
Since the previous watchOS 10.1 update, many users have reported that Apple Watch power consumption is much faster than before. This problem has a very direct impact on Apple Watch users. After all, most people charge their Apple Watch once a day or two. If you find that the power is consumed too quickly, you will definitely feel troubled.
Therefore, in addition to releasing the iOS 17.1.1 and iPadOS 17.1.1 software updates yesterday (8th), Apple also released the 10.1.1 software update for watchOS. This update project is fairly straightforward, providing important bug fixes that may cause some Apple Watch users to drain their battery faster.
In addition to the Apple Watch power consumption problem that was fixed in the watchOS 10.1.1 software update, some users previously reported that their Apple Watch was prone to getting hot in the watchOS 10.1 version, and even failed to charge normally, with a warning message popping up saying “Apple Watch is too hot and cannot be charged.” This problem has not yet been mentioned in the watchOS 10.1.1 update, and is expected to be improved in the next watchOS 10.2 update.
As for when the official version of watchOS 10.2 will be released? Apple is currently testing watchOS 10.1 and is expected to launch a software update simultaneously with iOS 17.2 / iPadOS 17.2 in December.
