Apple Releases iOS 17.1.2 With Security Fixes

[iSuzan]

Still not showing keyboard automatically when calling spotlight. Very welcome security fixes as always

Strange. That seems to be fixed for me.

 

[Reeneman]

Yup. Mine 15PM also very hot while updating… annoying…

Winter is coming. It’s a feature, not a bug.
Some heat is good these days.

Which device are you using?

15pro max

The apple music bug is still there. That's disappointing.

Which bug? I have an annoying bluetooth apple music bug that causes skipping when im in my car unless i re-add my phone. Supremely obnoxious.

 

[sjsharksfan12]

Which bug? What’s the problem it causes?

Play Counts and Last Played hasn't been updated since the 17.1 update.

Not as disappointing as the San Jose Sharks season this year.

What does that have to do with this thread. They were supposed to be bad. They are rebuilding.

Which?

Edit: should have read the next post…

 

[flybass]

sadly this doesn’t appear to be the big bug fix we heard about.

So some of these security fixes were fixed for iOS 16.7.1 (currently 16.7.2), but it's now getting fixed for iOS 17? Glad I'm not running iOS 17 for any critical devices.

actally it is linux when you jailbreak it you can see a linux filesytem same for android and macos so everything (but windows) is linux

Unless you have a DEC PDP-11 with the UNIX Time-Sharing System (e.g. like the one used by Sun Oil Trading Co. and Sun International Ltd.).

This update fixed my hardware failure on my front camera on my 15 Pro Max.

Has the Rebound "bug" been fixed yet?

Apple today released iOS 17.1.2 and iPadOS 17.1.2, small updates to the iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 operating systems that Apple introduced in September. iOS 17.1.2 and iPadOS 17.1.2 come a few weeks after the release of iOS 17.1.1, another bug fix update.

iOS 17.1.2 and iPadOS 17.1.2 can be downloaded on eligible iPhones and iPads over-the-air by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

According to Apple's release notes, iOS 17.1.2 includes important security fixes. Specifically, the update addresses vulnerabilities that may have been exploited in earlier versions of iOS.Apple is already working on a major iOS 17.2 update that is set to come out in December. iOS 17.2 includes the Journal app, changes to the Apple TV app, new Weather widgets, and more, with full details available in our iOS 17.2 guide.

Well, thanks a lot for the update, Apple. Now I can’t even use my phone. It’s completely useless. I get the Apple logo, but once I get to the Home Screen to unlock it, it is completely unresponsive.

Brand new iPhone 15 pro max and I am writing this post on my old iPhone X.

Do I have to skip work tomorrow and take it somewhere? This is stupid.

And no, a hard reset did not work.
Wtf?

I am beyond pissed off.

If I were you I wouldn’t download this POS

Same thing happened to me too (iPhone 15 Pro). When I connected the phone to my Mac, it reported that it was in DFU mode and needed to be restored. That's what I did and it's now recovering the previous iCloud backup.

That’s wrong macOS, iPadOS , iOS etc are NOT Linux based they are Unix based systems what you see is the Unix file system (unix has been around since the 1950/60)

That's somewhat right.

UNIX has been around since 1970. BSD has been around since 1978.

That sounds like my Google Pixel 6a, which I found to be updated to Android 14, without my authorization. It then told me that my data was corrupt and the only way to fix the problem was to do a factory data reset.

It's nice to know that Apple is as incompetent as Google sometimes.

Sorry for your (data) loss.

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.

"I want to be vulnerable for a year or more!"
"Security updates?!! Useless"

actally it is linux when you jailbreak it you can see a linux filesytem same for android and macos so everything (but windows) is linux

Darwin is more similar to Linux than to Windows, but it is not Linux. It’s just that both Darwin and Linux are Unix-like.

Right you are Jon Snow : Winter is coming !

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

Very interesting post, do you have any more info related to this bug or if it has been fixed.
We are currently running around 900 17.1.1 units and are heavily dependent on SSO, but havin said that, I'm not sure how many that are actually using SSO in webbrowsers.
I know the intranet sites do but not sure about apps such as MS Defender if they are relying on webbrowsers to login?

 

[Reverend Benny]

Just wanted to say thank you to all of you that's posting serious feedback about the update. 🙏
It does help people like myself during testing and what feedback to ask people, its not possible to keep track on all bugs being fixed (or added).

 

[daanodinot]

Is this the end of the iOS 16 update track? I’m seeing the iOS 17 update in full view now, including the wonderful Settings badge…

 

[F-B-Z]

Wi-Fi is as unstable as before (iPhone 13 Pro). 😕

 

[addamas]

There must be some real 💩 exploit fixed by 17.1.2 that even my IT Security Department forces people to update immediately or Apple device will be blocked from use (we use some iPhones and iPads there).

I am guessing not. There's still heaps of "fresh" devices that can't update to iOS 17.
Apple did release security and bugupdates for iOS 15 just before iOS 17 was released and I am expecting apple to do the same for iOS 16 now. It will most likely only be fixes, not feature updates for iOS 16.
