I doubt they fixed it, but maybe, just maybe it's fixed with MacOS 14.2.1. MacOS isn't showing for me yet.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Releases iOS 17.2.1 With Bug Fixes

Apple usually elaborates later on, but if they announce what the update is patching right when they release it, it would compromise security. It makes sense waiting for as many people to update as possible before revealing what exploit it fixes.
Apple are unlikely to fix it by updating MDCrashReportTool. That is very old software at least 15 years old and on a plethora of systems - both on macs AND windows pcs. Imagine trying to update it on so many systems.
It was iOS 17.2 that borked it - so that is the software that needs to be fixed, not MDCrashReportTool.

I understand it's better to be safe and bug-free, but keeping up with Apple's updates on multiple devices has become a side job in itself.
This bug started for me at 17.0 but there were workarounds by turning off the Apple Watch and then sync. That was working until 17.2.
Some people mentioned that during 17.2 beta 3-4, it got almost fixed but the 17.2 public broke it completely. I wouldn't say it's only caused by iOS 17.2 and likely have dependencies on iOS, WatchOS and/or MacOS.
Yeah, I wish Apple could be specific about those important bug fixes. Maybe add a link to a webpage or something.
Yep happened to me this morning on my iPhone even on 17.2. As well on iPad if you have two different wallpapers set the rotation is incredibly laggy and just snaps a second or two after you rotate. Something’s broken with the wallpaper system across the board
I would love to know what bug fixes because when an update says it fixes "Important Bug Fixes", my response is I thought the last update fixed "important bug fixes". It's like the bugs are multiplying exponentially and you kill 1, 4 more are released.
Well if they are as apple says "important", then why are they not "important" enough to tell us what they are?
Yes. The one time I recall it failing was with the iPad 2. Way back. it Would boot to Apple logo and that’s it. They had to be restored on the computer to fix it. We had of them and both failed.
Wallpapers are busted across the board on all devices after 17.2. Same wallpapers on lock and Home Screen on the phone and a weird bug on iPad if you have two diff wallpapers there’s a 1-2 second wallpaper lag on the Home Screen after rotating the device Before the wallpaper catches up

You ain’t kidding. I made a list in the Reminders app of all our household Apple devices and check them off as I update (33 in total). Takes me a couple days to complete lol. Don’t like auto updates especially after HomePodOS 13 (I think) bricked so many of them.
Hopefully this update fixes the Find My Live Location feature. That’s probably the only iOS specific bug I’m experiencing right now… or at least the only one that’s annoying the crap out of me.
That didn't happen on mine (iPhone 15 Pro), but after seeing a couple of other folks reporting it, I was expecting to see it. Strange.
Well, given how buggy 17.2 has been for me... any fixes, explained or not, are welcome.
Same, I think they fixed the storage in the message app not showing up properly. My icloud back up kept increasing instead of decreasing even when I hadnt texted anyone. Also when I had 0 texts to begin with. BUT the part on icloud where it says next backup size it still doesnt show. It just says LOADING. So that bug is still there. Ppl said it was like that on their macs too. I even bought more storage just be safe. The backup storage annoyed me because I dont have much on my phone to begin with. 25 contacts 1 photo 0 texts so it just became annoying why it was increasing instead of decreasing. Im glad they fixed it a lil bit
I noticed something funny a few days ago, but I thought it was just something with my eyes because I was tired.
nah... I'll wait for 17.2.1.3.2.5... that one promises to catch all bugs without bringing new ones...
I know, man, air is so thin I wonder how electrons move through it... The wire is the way to go for shor
Does it fix the bug that causes Safari to not display the correct page when going “back” to the DuckDuckGo search results page after viewing a site? Because that sure is getting annoying.
Hoping for the same - it’s my biggest issue at the moment. Haven’t seen it happen yet on the new version but it’s too early to tell.
