Apple has also suggested to developers that they would need to update their existing 32-bit apps to 64-bit before June 2018. The apps to be submitted after January 2018 should also be 64-bit ones. Apple has also **released the iOS 11.2 software update for its iOS devices**. The iOS comes with bug fixes and new features including a bar below the network and battery indicator to take the user to the Control Centre. Apple has also improved the TV app by including a ‘Sports’ tab at the bottom of the app. It has also brought three new live wallpapers on the **iPhone X**. The new iOS will also enable fast wireless charging option on the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. The wireless charging will be provided at a 7.5 W rating as compared to the 5 W received through the wired chargers. Tim Cook recently said that there are 1.8 million developers using the Apple platform in China and the company has earned a total CNY 112 billion ($16.93 billion). The earning represent roughly a quarter of total globe App store earnings. The data was shared during a speech at China’s top public cyber policy forum, organised by the Cyber-security Administration of China (CAC).
