Apple today released iOS 17.0.2 and iPadOS 17.0.2 updates, with the software coming five days after the releases of iOS 17.0.1 and iPadOS 17.0.1.

Today's iOS 17.0.2 and iPadOS 17.0.2 updates arrive as build 21A351 and can be downloaded on eligible iPhones and iPads over-the-air by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

Note that iOS 17.0.2 was previously made available for iPhone 15 owners, and those who purchased an iPhone 15 were prompted to install the update during the iPhone setup process.

Apple has now made iOS 17.0.2 available for all iPhones compatible with iOS 17 instead of limiting it to the iPhone 15, but iPhone 15 users already have the software and will not see the update.

According to Apple's release notes, iOS 17.0.2 fixes an issue that could prevent transferring data directly from another iPhone during setup, an issue that affected the iPhone 15 models. The iPad release notes are the same, but mention transferring from another iPad.

I just saw this show up on my 12 Pro just a couple of minutes ago. Maybe this update will again allow me download files to my iPhone (in Files) - Save has been greyed out since 17.0.
 
I wonder if this will fix custom notification sounds being missing. If it doesn't I'm just going to skip this update since my phone is working great, it's not a security upgrade and I don't intend to upgrade for now. (My 15PM arrives in November!)
 
Maybe the reason the iPhone Pro 15s got the stop charging at 80 percent capacity is precisely because of them running a little hot…

High state of charge and elevated temps are deleterious for battery health


very interesting indeed.
Exactly this. I mentioned this earlier in another thread. Cause there is no reason to introduce this feature. Unless...

Yeah, lots of complaints about custom sounds going missing.

Never thought of that. Interesting.

Someday they'll bring back the ability to turn on Do Not Disturb during a calendar event (meeting). This worked before 16.4.
