Apple officially He warned users iOS-devices issue in 2012 and over the need to update the firmware. If this is not done until 3 November, will have problems with the GPS and will cease to operate many functions.
It is worth noting that the point here is not to Apple, namely GPS: Geolocation systems need resetting every 1024 weeks - and if the software the receiving device is not configured correctly, smartphone or tablet will no longer be able to use GPS for precise time and date. Sounds harmless enough, but in reality it means that the "break" Sync with some services, including iCloud and servers Email.
To avoid this, install the update. Version of the software depends on the model:
- iOS 10.3.4: iPhone 5 and iPad 4 (Wi-Fi + Cellular);
- iOS 9.3.6: iPhone 4s, iPad mini (Wi-Fi + Cellular), iPad 2 (Wi-Fi + Cellular) and iPad 3 (Wi-Fi + Cellular).
The problem does not affect iPod Touch and iPad tablets without slots for SIM-card. Devices manufactured after 2012, is also safe.
If you do not have older iOS-devices, but there is another technology with GPS, it makes sense to check, it did not work there for her update. This is especially true of specialized devices - for example,
navigators and some DVRs.
