Apple pushes out iOS 5.1.1

Apple has released the latest update for its mobile operating system.

The iOS 5.1.1 update includes a number of bug fixes and improvements in reliability for your Apple device.

For starters, the reliability of using the HDR option for photos taken via the Lock Screen shortcut has been improved. Similarly, the reliability of syncing Safari bookmarks and the reading list has been enhanced.

The update also squashes bugs, including a clutch of nasties that glitched AirPlay video playback under certain circumstances. Bugs that could potentially prevent the new iPad from switching between 2G and 3G networks have also been addressed.

Apple has also sorted a problem whereby an “Unable to Purchase” box had erroneously popped up after a successful purchase.

Furthermore, Apple has fixed some Safari vulnerabilities, helping to better secure iOS surfers from the increasing amounts of malware floating around out there.

All welcome improvements, then. The 5.1.1 update is being pushed out over the air, or you can download it via the software update function.
