There was a weird bug in Safari where if you tried to click the X to close a tab, it wouldn't close and just display the tabbed page again.
 
Installed and after installation all my photos are just grey squares, almost like they don’t exist locally. I also have no wi-fi or cellular icons… phone is also suddenly very slow.

that's bad advice - security updates are important

Don't disagree, but have you ever had to start over with a clean restore on an iPhone that's been using the same backup for awhile? It can be quite a large undertaking.

the last 3 or even more iPhones that I got - I put them next to each other and let them do "their thing", so haven't really had to deal with a "restore" in a long time, but still, when the 15 gets setup tomorrow, it will most likely upgrade to 17.0.2 first thing ...
 
Well, it seems like every new IOS iteration is followed quickly with .1. My wife questioning me thoroughly why there is always an update to the most recent update. I have no answer other than incompetence.

Tell her that there are two goals with software development, good enough, and perfect.

But most software programmers will tell you there is no perfect software only software that is good enough. So its perfectly normal to see updates! 🤣

This is not how security patches work.
I was referring to the bug fixes… they released buggy software.

In any case its exactly how security patches work, they release the security patch in response to security threats when they have a patch that fixes the vulnerability. And they were supposed to be rapid delivery patches.

Right, and the risk is that once you do that, you won't be able to restore your current backup that'll be on 17.0 or 17.0.1. Hopefully I'm wrong, though.
 
For the record there is an update too for the Apple Watch downloading right now 10.0.1

My battery health went from 100% to 92% with iOS 17, hopefully there was an error in that, that is corrected in this update

Mine - a relatively new phone as I assume is yours - was 100% and it is still 100%. I don't know if this is true or not, but I read that a new OS version can re-calibrate battery health, involving a number of power cycles to see exactly how the battery is coping.
