Apple has come up with a new version of iOS 12.1 specifically for the iPhone XR. The update is also available on the iPhone model if it has not already followed the process of updating with the version released seven days ago.

The update, released Tuesday, brings iPhone XR users who have not migrated to iOS 12.1 to the latest generational version. Attempts by AppleInsider perform a software update on an iPhone XR running version of last week's release has not yielded results, and suggests that it will not work for early users of iOS 12.1.

Tuesday's update is version 16B94, compared to version 16B93 used for the previous version of the update. It's unclear exactly what's different in the new update compared to the old version, but it seems to be specific in nature to the iPhone XR. All owners of iPhone XR are not invited to download the new version and already have iOS 12.1 does not necessarily seem to prevent a new download.

Owners of the iPhone XR who are still on iOS 12 can upgrade to iOS 12.1 by entering the Settings application, selecting General, then Software Update.

The new features of iOS 12.1 include Group FaceTime, which supports video chats between up to 32 people simultaneously. About 70 new emoji are also included in this version, as well as Depth Control in real-time camera previews, a fix for "beautygate" and bug fixes related to the loading issues of some iPhones and iPads.

This version also supports dual SIM, allowing users to use two cell phone plans on a single device, with a physical SIM card associated with an eSIM or two physical SIM cards in China.
