According to the iOS update convention, the first major version update will fix more bugs and optimize system performance. Unfortunately, however, it also comes with a serious problem…
For iPhone owners who have upgraded to Apple iOS 12.1, it is easy to bypass the passcode into your iPhone. The security researcher Jose Rodriguez has made a vídeo to show that anyone can call your iPhone from another iPhone and, once connected, the call is turned into a FaceTime video call and ‘Add Person’ option pressed on the target iPhone. This brings up the device’s full contact list and using 3D Touch on any contact reveals all their data, such as their phone numbers, email addresses and more. The flaw is in lock screen security and it allows anyone to get past Face ID or Touch ID on your iPhone and dive straight into all your contact information. This flaw is specific to iOS 12.1 as it doesn’t work on any other version of iOS.
In addition, there are still other bugs in iOS12.1, most of the small bugs that have appeared on iOS12.1 Beta5 are still there. Such as battery life complaints and etc.
