Interesting, guess we can look forward to a batch of security updates in 17.5 then, not just functionality.
I wonder if iOS 15 are affected and will receive the same treatment?

Does anyone have the direct download for this from Apple's CDN. Also, I know older models can be downgraded still (from iOS 17) but what about the iPhone 15 Pro? Can that also be downgraded currently to iOS 16.x, since it's still being signed.

The iPhone 15 series always required iOS 17. Only older models which do not support iOS 17 at all can install 16.7.8.

Ok, I didn't realize that. Thank you for clarifying
