This is not the first time that iOS players have had to wait for a while longer. A Fortnite update usually takes time to show up on the App Store. Even during patch 11.31, iOS players were unable to play the game for almost an entire day due to the delayed arrival of the Fortnite update. Epic Games has not revealed the exact time at which the Fortnite update will be available on iOS devices. So, players on iPhones can do nothing more than wait patiently for the update.

As for the changes introduced in the latest Fortnite update, patch 12.10 introduced a brand new item, the proximity mine. Proximity mines do exactly what their name suggests, they explode whenever an enemy player gets too close to them. The mine can be used to safeguard your tactical location and prevents players from sneaking up on you. Moreover, the proximity mine also deals around 50 damage, marks the enemy that walked over it, and also revealed their location.
