Apple appears to be internally testing an iOS 17.1.2 update for the iPhone, based on evidence of the software contained in our website’s scan logs over the past few days.
As a minor update, iOS 17.1.2 should focus on bug fixes, but it’s unclear what issues might be fixed. Some users continued to experience Wi-Fi connection 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 as ‘Apple included in the beta version of iOS 17.2. Some users have also experienced minor bugs related to push notifications and HomeKit.
Apple typically does not release any software updates or beta releases during Thanksgiving week in the United States because most of the company’s employees get a full week off due to the holiday. This means that iOS 17.1.2 will likely be released next week, similar to how iOS 16.1.2 was released on November 30 last year.
iOS 17.1.1 has already fixed a BMW wireless charging issue affecting the iPhone 15 lineup and an issue preventing the Weather app widget from displaying a snow icon.
iOS 17.2 has been in beta testing for almost a month now and is scheduled for release 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 translation 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-level individuals, additional Weather and Clock widgets, and more.
