WASHINGTON: In mid-September, following the launch of its new generation of iPhones, Apple rolled a series of major new features to its mobile operating system. Now, it's ironing out the kinks and improving crash detection in newer models.

The update to iOS 16.1.2 is set to both improve compatibility with mobile network operators and trigger more reliable warnings when anyone with an iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro model has been in an accident, Apple says.
