According to foreign media reports, after a period of testing and upgrading, the official version of iOS 12.1 will be officially launched in the early morning of tomorrow (October 31) Beijing time. All devices compatible with the iOS 12 system will be upgraded. At that time, users can upgrade through OTA or by logging in to iTunes. At present, this news has been confirmed on Apple's official website.

Apple will launch the official version of iOS 12.1 tomorrow. From the introduction on the official website, this update will bring more different experiences to users. The first is the addition of more than 70 new emoji emoticons, including peacocks, parrots, vegetables, stopwatches, and even red envelopes. It seems that Apple has worked hard to please Chinese users in recent years.

Next is the update of the FaceTime group call function. Compared with the previous one-to-one FaceTime call function, the updated FaceTime will allow you to chat with more people, and the maximum number of online calls can reach 32. Yes, as long as you think you can hold the conference. The updated FaceTime group call function also allows each user to wear animation effects on themselves, which Apple believes will make video chat easier and more interesting than before. In addition, the updated FaceTime also has such functions as automatic detection of active speakers, notification of no ringing tone, message integration, and end-to-end encryption to iOS 12.1.

In terms of photographing, this time Apple has added the photographing depth of field adjustment function to the system update of iPhone XR/XS/XS Max, which means that you can adjust the depth of field effect you want in the process of photographing, rather than waiting for the photos to be taken before later adjustment. However, because the real-time depth of field adjustment function has certain requirements on the performance of the processor, this function is used on three new Apple computers equipped with A12 Bionic. Of course, Apple will expand this function update to other Apple models in the future.

It is worth mentioning that this camera update also added the automatic beautification switch in the pre shooting option, which is off by default, and users can choose according to their own needs. Previously, the automatic beautification function of iOS 12 that could not be turned off made European and American users very angry. They thought that the self taking photos after the automatic beautification made them seem completely different and very unreal.

In addition, Apple has also enabled eSIM card support for iPhone XS/XS Max/XR in this update, which means that from now on, the non national bank version of iPhone can also experience the dual card dual standby function (entity+eSIM card). Previously, only the national bank version of iPhone XR/XS Max supported the dual entity card dual card dual standby function. However, due to the restrictions of domestic laws and regulations, even after the system update, the iPhone XS of the Bank of China version still cannot support this function.
