iOS 17.1 did a superb job of destroying numerous the bugs which were plaguing iPhone customers because the launch of the brand new model in September. The overheating issues that made iPhones nearly too sizzling to the touch appear to be mounted, as is that odd display burn-in drawback that wasn’t burn-in. As for that obscure nighttime rebooting bug, I am unsure about that one.
Oh, and you’ll nonetheless use a Flipper Zero to crash an iPhone.
Additionally: Every little thing Apple introduced at its October ‘Scary Quick’ occasion (and what wasn’t unveiled)
However there’s one other bug that has been inflicting customers complications, and that is associated to poor Wi-Fi efficiency.
This bug would not appear to be widespread, however these affected by it are affected by sluggish Wi-Fi speeds and dropped connections. The “repair” was to show Wi-Fi off and again on once more, and let the connection reestablish, though this was solely a short lived repair.
Properly, based on iClarified, there’s excellent news and unhealthy information.
The excellent news is {that a} repair is coming within the type of iOS 17.2.
Additionally: iOS 17.1 replace nonetheless no protection towards Flipper Zero iPhone crashes
The unhealthy information is that we have simply had iOS 17.1, and iOS 17.2 is at the moment in beta. It will be December earlier than we see this land of iPhones.
That is probably a number of extra weeks of Wi-Fi complications for these affected.
That mentioned, I’ve seen bug fixes slated for .x releases rolled into smaller updates up to now, so if Apple must push out updates to iOS 17.1 earlier than rolling out iOS 17.2, this Wi-Fi repair may see the sunshine of day sooner.
Additionally: iPhone customers who do not wish to be tracked want Apple’s iOS 17.1 privateness patch
Oh, and it is also unclear at this level if this can be a full repair — we’ll simply have to attend and see.
Together with the same old slew of bug fixes and safety patches, iOS 17.2 will deliver with it a bunch of latest options which were promised, reminiscent of a Journal app, a Translate characteristic for the iPhone 15 Professional’s Motion button, and the iMessage Contact Key Verification safety choice to strengthen messaging privateness, amongst different issues.
