No bug fixes? We need those!

 

[iSuzan]

Well, I had an annoying bug which seems to be fixed:

when open the search (slide down) the keyboard wasn't shown lots of times.

This seems to be fixed now.

Taking a long time to download and update. The iPhone and iPad are also very small.

 

[MinuKu]

Is ios17.1.2 the version the version that fixed the wifi6e connection error on the iphone15 pro?

 

[msackey]

No update to watchOS? Looking for it to be updated for battery/charging bugs....

 

[jz0309]

I don’t mind security updates…

 

[dsr1122]

I’ve been having face ID problems since 17.0.3 on my 13 Pro Max. Even did a complete reset to no avail. Hoping it’s fixed in this update or 17.2.

 

[StuBeck]

Wonder if this fixes the SSO issue they introduced with 17.1.1 for Entra ID scenarios in web browsers?

 

[ZipZilla]

More endless updates for my Apple Linux smartphone

 

[GIZBUG]

Says unable to install at this time

 

[Youngin]

More endless updates for my Apple Linux smartphone

There will always be people working to exploit the os.

Why wouldn’t you want those exploits patched?

 

[Scotty2Hotty]

Slight error. Just sayin’

 

[Reeneman]

More than 500 Mb on my 15 Pro.
Around 300 Mb on the 13 (phone from work).

 

[ahmede]

My 13 Pro is quite toasty after the update

 

[d5aqoëp]

My 15 Pro Max doesn’t see TP-Link BE900’s 6Ghz band. On 17.2 B4 and another on 17.1.2

Intel BE200 and AX210 Wifi cards do see it.

 

[sparkinstx]

Are the security updates included in 17.2 Beta 4?

 

[Octavius8]

Bluetooth calling dropping in the car and 100% unusable bug solved?. No, I don’t have car play, but Bluetooth to make calls, but my 15PM “just don’t work“

I’ll never understand people who complain about updates. Apple even includes an option to install overnight so you are not even inconvenienced with the install.

Not for nothing, but I also use Bluetooth to make phone calls in my car as well. My 11 Pro with iOS 17.x works. So could it be a hardware issue?

BL.

More endless updates for my Apple Linux smartphone

Spoiler: iOS isn’t based on Linux

 

[Reeneman]

Are the security updates included in 17.2 Beta 4?

Most likely

 

[TooMuchPhone]

No change to WiFi (15PM) - still getting faster speeds on other devices at the same distance.

 

[louis^]

Still pretty slow download speed (mobile AND wifi) when updating apps via appstore.

 

[LouisPiper]

My 13 Pro is quite toasty after the update

My 15 Pro Max hit 108 degrees Fahrenheit while downloading and updating as well
