The iOS 11.2 update also fixes a major bug which causes apps that use local notifications to crash SpringBoard starting December 2nd. It appears as though the bug was just discovered a few hours ago but lucky for Apple the issue had already been fixed in iOS 11.2 beta. The company has pushed out the 11.2 software update in the middle of the night in an attempt to minimize chaos in the morning.

[UPDATE]:
While Apple Pay Cash is listed in the release notes as a feature of iOS 11.2, it does not appear to be activated yet. This could be due to the rushed release. Apple will likely flip the switch sometime next week. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.

I will hold off the upgrade as it indicate that there will be a new update very soon. I will wait until the release of 11.2.1 before doing so.
