It’s not a huge update, but it could come in handy.
Following up on last week’s release of iOS 17.9 and iOS 17.0.1 for the iPhone, Apple on Tuesday released iOS 17.0.2 for all compatible iPhone models.
While the original build of iOS 17.0.2 is 21A350, today’s build number is 21A351. The release notes are the same as before, mentioning that the update fixes a problem that may “prevent transferring data directly from another iPhone during setup.”
It’s thought that there were some users still experiencing issues transferring data from an old iPhone to the newly-released iPhone 15 models, thereby pushing Apple to release an updated build.
When the iPhone 15 arrived to the first customers, some users noticed that the device got stuck on the Apple logo after trying to restore the backup from an old iPhone. This happened when users skipped the iOS 17.0.2 update during setup, which was required to fix bugs related to data transfer.
Apple has also released iPadOS 17.0.2 to the public with the same focus on addressing the data transfer bug.
As usual, users can locate, download, and install the update by opening the Settings app, tapping General, and choosing Software Update on either the iPhone or the iPad.
If you’ve tried the iOS 17.0.2 or the iPadOS 17.0.2 updates, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
