What exactly is "our website's analytics logs" as far as factual?
Website analytics would show the computer operating system used to browse the site. Check Trasir out to see what info is publicly shown on your end. And just because MacRumors is seeing folks browse their site on 17.1.2, that doesn't mean it'll see the light of day 😉 Just that someone that works at Apple has been internally testing 17.1.2 and also went to MacRumors.com

I think that Apple is doing that on purpose. They’re teasing the small updates in this way.Website analytics would show the computer operating system used to browse the site.

I can’t remember when Macrumors said a x.x.x is coming and it didn’t came. They were always right.

It could just be Apple internally testing a build on the "17.1" API's as opposed to anything introduced in the "17.2" API's. Maybe it won't ever see the light of day, but considering all of the bugs recently and the number of updates, it's possible there's more looking into web analytics and concluding its release is imminent.
Other then MacRumors speculation, there's not much going on for that. We are so close to 17.2 going public, which I think is dec 11th, it's almost a why bother. The 17. 2 RC is likely next Tuesday for anyone that can't wait.
Patch is rumored to encompass further wireless connection issues which are already included in 17.2
Do you honestly believe that Apple works this way? That they prepared an entire release 17.1.2 and then decided “oh nevermind” because of the impending release of a 17.2 that they all knew was coming and when it was coming (unlike us, they don’t need to speculate about the release date)?
17.1.1 didn’t come out till 4pm eastern. Plenty of time yet.
I still think it's just internal testing against 17.1 API's as opposed to new API's in 17.2
That may well be. Or it may actually exist.
But the one thing that didn’t happen was Apple’s software development team saying “oh gosh 17.2 is coming soon so we shouldn’t release this software we just worked on.”
Right! And if it does exist, and has been showing in analytics logs for a little while now, it's not an "Emergency" type update, like the Rapid Response Updates. Unless there's A/B testing or something? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
speaking for myself, my iPhone 14 Pro Max on 17.1.1 is doin just fine
iOS 16.1.2 came out on Nov 30 2022. iOS 16.2 was released on Dec 13 2022, so I think 17.1.2 could come this week.
