Correct, if you remain on the beta participation you'll be waiting for 17.1 beta 1 on Monday 9/26 or Tuesday 9/27 (most likely).
Maybe Tim sent out the bat signal and our 15’s are updating in flight!✈️ 🦇📡
I set up my new iPhone from scratch every year so I should know this, but at what point in the setup process does the phone check for iOS updates? Is it before or after you’re prompted to sign into iCloud?
Just asking cause I can’t remember if it’s better to skip all the setup stuff, check for the software update and restart so that iOS is up to date before signing into iCloud and having all the iCloud settings and data start downloading to the new phone.

You honestly think they are that lucky. Hey immediate updates for the new iPhone 15 FOMO owners.
I am both a beta tester and a normal consumer. i'm on 17.0.1 as I've just updated which seems to me incredibly sensible. Apple does not push out updates for no good reason. Good luck with your "but I have never been impacted by a security vulnerability immediately". And as for "Some of these changes could be from months ago" oh dearMost 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.
*Assuming you are a beta tester versus a normal consumer relying on public releases/patches.
It's the truth, lots of past software vulnerabilities are months old before Apple gets around to fixing them.I am both a beta tester and a normal consumer. i'm on 17.0.1 as I've just updated which seems to me incredibly sensible.

Some zero day incidents are worked a lot faster. Also most cyber threats are avoidable with sensible computer usage practices. And for the extreme instances:

It shows up when you turn OFF betas, in software updates.
As soon as you're setting up the new phone, it'll ask you to update to 17.0.2.
“They really didn’t include the ability to display it as quarter-cycles, semi-cycles or octa-cycles? Pffft. The least they could do is give us a toggle. Are options really so hard, Apple?”
I'm confused when you say you "downgraded to iOS 17.0.1". Isn't 17.0.1 the latest stable release?
Sorry I should of mentioned I was on iOS latest Dev beta. Can't remember but was it iOS 17 beta rc ?
The beta was 17.0 RC, so to go to 17.0.1 would be upgrade, not downgrade.
A upgrade would be something large/complicated like updating to IOS 17 from IOS 16.x. This is just a minor security update.
iOS 17.1 beta 1
Needs to be out in the field next week, Monday or Tuesday. (Dependant on holidays in the US if any)
If… they are looking for an end of October early Nov release. If that’s anything from 16.1 to go by with 5 betas and then an RC.
Weekly’s through October.
RC week of the 30th Oct.

Silly I am!! That’s correct and while I’m here now posting this my battery been much much better since I upgraded to 17.0.1
I meant update, not upgrade, obviously. Point is, it’s not a downgrade.
I don’t think this is a minor security update. Any update that changes the overall release cadence is a pretty significant update.
See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213926
All 3 changes linked to same reporting party, effecting kernel, security, and WebKit. Was a normal delayed remediation. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited against versions of iOS before iOS 16.7. Now that’s funny because there was no iOS 16.7 beta cycle only a RC, and a release done yesterday. So now you know why they upped the version from 16.6.1 to 16.7.
