As expected, Apple has released the iOS 17.1.2 update for all iPhones that support iOS 17. Unlike some previous releases, such as the iOS 17.1 update, this release focuses on security fixes. Apple notes in the changelog that it is recommended for all users. Alongside iOS 17.1.2, the iPhone manufacturer has also released iPadOS 17.1.2. It also has bug and security fixes.
Before you begin, make sure your iPhone is charged. We recommend charging it to at least 60% before proceeding with the update. Next, make sure you have a supported iPhone. If you have an iPhone XS or later, you should be good.

The iOS 17.2 update is expected soon
In related news, Apple’s iOS 17.2 update is coming soon and will bring a bunch of new features to iPhone users — including a new Journal app. The update is currently in beta testing, with four betas released so far. Another feature that Apple may add is the ability to collaborate on Apple Music playlists and Spatial Video recording on the iPhone 15 Pro models. The ability to record Spatial Video will allow it to be viewed with the Apple Vision Pro headset when it is released in 2023.
