iOS 17.1.2 update thought to be in the works, could act as a bug fix and be released next week

You can’t knock a handy iOS update.

Apple appears to be internally testing an iOS 17.1.2 update for the iPhone, according to website server logs recorded over the past few days.

It’s thought that the update will probably be focused on bug fixes as opposed to new features. Some users have continued to experience Wi-Fi issues on iOS 17.1.1, released earlier this month, so perhaps iOS 17.1.2 will include the same fix for Wi-Fi connectivity issues that Apple included in the iOS 17.2 beta. Other users have also experienced minor bugs related to push notifications and HomeKit.

Apple historically does not release any software updates or betas during the week of Thanksgiving, given that most of the company’s employees are generally given the full week off due to the holiday. As such, the iOS 17.1.2 update will probably be released next week, similar to how iOS 16.1.2 was released on November 30 last year.

The iOS 17.2 update has been in beta testing for nearly a month now, and it is expected to be released in mid-December. The update includes many new features and changes, including Apple’s new Journal app, support for spatial video recording on iPhone 15 Pro models, a Translate option for the Action button on iPhone 15 Pro models, the ability for Apple Music subscribers to collaborate on playlists, an iMessage Contact Key Verification security option for high-profile individuals, additional Weather and Clock widgets, and more.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
