Find out what changes will come with the new iOS 17.1. See when the system will be released.
iOS 17 has brought a lot of headaches to Apple's software developers. Since its official release, many iPhone users have reported issues and various inconveniences when using their device.
However, everything can be fixed quickly. iOS 17.1 is scheduled to be released to all users on October 24. This includes numerous bug fixes for compatible iPhones and the final solution to the high radiation levels recently observed on the iPhone 12 in France. It is worth remembering that the European country had previously banned the sale of the iPhone 12 due to excessive radiation. After this drastic measure, Belgium had to analyze scenarios that could even lead to a recall of the device in several countries.
iOS 17.1
Apple recently released an update that addresses this issue. According to the announcement, this will be included in iOS 17.1 as soon as it is stable on devices. Version 17.1 is still in testing.
It is also important to note that the iPhone 15 series devices were facing severe overheating issues and the company had to release an emergency fix to resolve the issue. iOS 17.1 is expected to fix everything.
Additionally, iOS 17.1 will introduce an Apple Music favorites system, support for AirDrop over the internet, new bank and card balance options in the Wallet app, Dynamic Island flashlight display, and many other features.
Updates on sealed iPhone
Apple has developed a system that can deliver original, fully updated iPhones to buyers at one of its stores. This means that the user experience will not be interrupted in the first few minutes, with the mandatory update of the phone's operating system running under the screen.
What you need to know
Apple has developed technology capable of sending software updates for iPhones directly in stores. The idea involves a surface capable of remotely turning on the device in the case, updating iOS and then turning the phone off again.
All of this happens while the phone is still sealed in the box, and the update is inevitably pushed while the iPhone is still on for the update. If you’ve ever purchased an iPhone, whether new or used, you know that the first time you turn on your phone, the phone’s operating system requests an Internet connection and downloads any available iOS updates. This action focuses on the security of the data that will be placed on the device, but it also significantly delays the feeling of actually using the smartphone.
To avoid this additional delay when it comes to starting to use your new phone, Apple has developed this technology that can update iPhones in the store. This without even removing the seal from the new models.
This technology, combined with the new iOS, brings Apple another step forward in its reputation as a pioneer in advances. By updating the phone out of the box, the company ensures that its iPhones have fewer bugs and system errors.
