the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. This update appears to address issues specific to these models that were not fully resolved in the original iOS 18.3 release.
What’s Fixed?
- Calculator App: Restores the ability to repeat the last mathematical operation when pressing the equals sign, a feature that was previously available.
- Keyboard Issue: Fixes a bug that caused the keyboard to disappear when starting a typed Siri request.
- Apple Music Bug: Resolves an issue where music would keep playing until the song ended, even after the Apple Music app was closed.
Unusual Installation Process
Unlike typical updates, this version cannot be installed over the air. Instead, users must manually update their iPhones using a computer:
- Connect your iPhone to a Mac or Windows PC.
- Open Finder (Mac) or iTunes (Windows).
- Select your device when it appears.
- Click “Check for Update” and follow the on-screen instructions to install the new build.
Since the over-the-air update won’t deliver this version, this manual process is necessary for iPhone 11 users who want the latest fixes.
Apple hasn’t explained why this update is limited to these three models, but if you have an iPhone 11 series device, it’s recommended that you install it for improved performance and stability. For more details, you can check Apple’s official iOS 18.3 release notes.
