I have a Series 5 Watch and it just drained completely in 2 hours since upgrading. Anyone have tips? Think this could be corrected with another update?
Got a tip for us?

130gb space left, also i noticed if you're on a phone call using your Air Pods and the iPhone is in the lock mode and you try to unlock the phone from the caller screen it has a nasty flickering bounce effect and will not unlock until you try it a 2nd time.
Apple does that on purpose. They leave a 2-3 week window between releasing an update and allowing automatic installation of it so they have time to pull any update that comes with a major problem (which has indeed happened more than once).
Is it? Whenever I get a new iPhone, I just leave at that sw version (x.0) I've dealt with the copy-paste error on the iPhone 14 Pro, and didn't neeed to deal with any new bugs iOS gives us with updates. Worked just fine for the past year.
You just got lucky. If your phone had been targeted by Intellexa spyware, blocked by the latest update, you would not have been so lucky.
It's kinda ok.. My work iPad is 6th and I did install 17 on it and my work iPhone 13. The iPad was already getting a bit slow and I don't really use it much.. I've held off installing 17 on my personal devices.. My 2015 MBA isn't supported above Monterey and I'm leery of updating personal iPad and iPhone further fearing they may not work well together anymore. I may do it later in the year once it seems these bugs/security issues in 17 have been worked out.
Thanks for the link!
Well, I guess i've been lucky for quite a few years in a row now, as I stopped updating sw myself. The only update I get is when buying new hardware. I've never had an issue, attack or anything, and neither have heard of others.
Except for when Apple screwed up and left the root pw blanc on the Mac. That was spooky, so I applied that fix.
Would it make a difference that I'm not using Safari, but Opera without cookies?
I wish they'd make their iOS support schedule known... Like is iOS 15 going to keep getting updates like iOS 12 did for so long?
It's so hard to plan without Apple making any sort of support cycle known.

It's unlikely that you personally would be targeted by Pegasus or Predator spyware, but if you were, you wouldn't even know. The sole purpose of those evil software implants is to harvest your personal data, track your messages, see what your camera is seeing, listen through your microphone etc.
It would not make any difference if you were using Opera rather than Safari. Both browsers use WebKit under the hood, and it is flaws in WebKit that this kind of malware makes use of.
I can't stress enough that it's important to keep your phone up to date with security patches. If holes are left open long enough, your device will get compromised sooner or later. And you won't even know it.
Should’ve not been released without the fixes. this quick fix after release means not enough internally tested across all devices in use that are supported.
Yes, and still there is some bugs and lags where I expected there wouldn’t be.
Early next week you should have the option to try iPadOS 17.1 beta 1 is the general consensus of when it arrives. Get free account read here.
I’m on the same boat here. 17.0 has been very solid on my 14 Pro Max and battery life has been quite better. I’m not even sure I wanna upgrade 😂17.0 runs so well on my 12 Pro I don't even want to upgrade
I skimmed the thread and I may have missed this if someone else brought it up. Has no one else seen the significance of 17.0.1? As in NCC1701?
What folks need to understand is that most times these exploits don’t remain as “secret” and “protected” as the narrative might have you think. These articles seem to imply that only government agencies/nation-states are buying these products and using them… but that isn’t entirely true, most of them have eventually leaked out and end up kracked on the “dark web”. And even if the programs don’t leak, often the security vulnerability-chains they use get reverse engineered and other products using them released. Then you end up with technically-competent “script kiddies”, who could never have figured these attacks out on their own, using them against people who called them an “incel” on X or in looking for nudes against random scantily-clad IG “influencers” or fscking with randos on Fb for lulz. Or jack-boot low-level law enforcement bullies abusing their position of privilege and access to the apps using them against exes or others with whom they have an axe to grind, because that’s what jack-booted bullies do. And can.
And there is next-to-no accountability being employed in these cases. Apple surely doesn’t want users to know they’ve been exploited! That goes against their narrative! And this is one exceptional example of how Apple’s security paradigm works against its own users… you ALSO don’t know what’s going on behind the curtains of the black box you’re using.

Excellent descriptions on these attackers! I really like the jack-boot low-level law enforcement bullies ...rolls off the tongue nicely.
Ok, so, I guess I'll update in that case. I will wait a day or 2 and have a read here, see if there are any problems with the latest update.
Thanks!
No, but I actually think I had one last night from another phone to mine.. I'll have to prove that out again when I have time..
But getting the security updates NO LONGER REQUIRES TO JUMP TO THE NEXT MAJOR SOFTWARE VERSION. Right now, for example, anyone who doesn’t want to jump to iOS 17 just yet can still get the security updates by installing iOS 16.7, also released last thursday, instead.
