Apple Releases iOS 17.2.1 With Bug Fixes

[clayj]

I bought my 2017 car in the last month before the 2018 model came out. The models that came out earlier had some callbacks. My car has had no problems at all. This is how I deal with iOS updates. So I will stay with iOS 16 until iOS 18 approaches. Then I will update to iOS 17.

Apple routinely stops signing "older" versions of iOS -- where "older" means anything older than one or two releases from the current version -- so no, your plan is not going to work.

Well it will be within the next release. I'll get the last update before the next one comes out. I've been doing this since iOS 13.

If you are on 14.2, definitely update to 14.2.1 ASAP. This critical issue has been fixed:

Whoops. Needed another coffee today it seems. This is the iOS thread. Anyway… for any macOS users on this thread... don’t delay on updating to 14.2.1.

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.

No it doesn't

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.

Or just set it for automatic and let it do its thing while you sleep. Just a thought.

Funny that, my work-issued laptop cannot do that (which is my employer’s fault for enforcing lousy configs, not anyone else’s fault).
