Public releases/updates are not detected if your running either dev or PC beta choice. There doesn't need to be an update it the RC became the public release. (same build). Yes a 17.1 beta is expected early next week.

It's more specific to the new models. We have 17.1 beta coming next week, so this is akin to iOS version for the day.
Apple security releases - Apple Support
This document lists security updates and Rapid Security Responses for Apple software.
Give us a reason why not. You should always update.
Actually I always ignore the pubic releases if I am on the beta selection. The next beta will usually encompass those security aspects as well as offer much more then a patch release even if I have to wait a few days more.
You can go for it, as when you set up the 15, it will prompt to download this update anyway.
Though it’s only 24 hours or so, so can wait if you’ve got the patience.
But you don't have a beta? "The beta will usually encompass those security aspects." It's up yo you, but I can see no reason not to
This is the fastest a point update has come. I'm wondering now if we are set for a few weeks with updates
I doubt it, just last moment security improvements for both older and the new iPhone 15 series not incorporated into iOS 17.0 release.
Most here are patient enough not to mix beta releases with public releases.* Of course you can, but I have never been impacted by a security vulnerability immediately. Some of these changes could be from months ago that are just getting implemented/patched. Hense waiting a few days for the 17.1 beta 1 is no big deal.But you don't have a beta?

*Assuming you are a beta tester versus a normal consumer relying on public releases/patches.
I was looking back at the speculation thread from Ios 16 and it looks like we had a 16.0.2 as well but then nothing else until 16.1
