iOS 17 Speculation Thread

Is it just me or does Apple not utilize rapid security response. They did a few tests but other than that, security updates come out in frequent iOS updates. Not saying it’s a bad thing but I just wonder what’s the reason or plan.
will be interesting to see if we get 17.3.1. Zollo said it could come soon but there is no sign in the logs of it
Yeah its seems like a lot of noise for nothing. Yet....
That is meant for something that needs to be addresses more urgently in between security updates. The examples of a single change to Safari and revert showed its wasn't a replacement of security updates. Its applies not only to iOS, but also iPadOS and MacOS urgent patching. So you might see more of a MacOS action then IOS which seems to have more security updates.
This is interesting

OS 17 is installed on 76 percent of iPhones released in the last four years, according to newly released iOS 17 adoption statistics provided today by Apple. This is the first time that Apple has given us iOS 17 installation numbers since the operating system was released last September.
20 percent of iPhones released in the last four years are still running iOS 16, while four percent run an earlier operating system. Of all active iPhones, 66 percent are running iOS 17, 23 percent are running iOS 16, and 11 percent are running an earlier version of iOS.
Apple also shared iPadOS installation numbers. 61 percent of iPads introduced in the last four years have iPadOS 17 installed, while 29 percent have iPadOS 16, and 10 percent are running an earlier version of iPadOS.
Among all active iPads, 53 percent have iPadOS 17, 29 percent have iPadOS 16, and 18 percent run an earlier version of the iPadOS software.
Around this time last year, 81 percent of all iPhones introduced in the last four years had iOS 16 installed, so iOS 17 adoption has been slower. Only 53 percent of iPads were running iPadOS 16 in February 2023, however, so the pace of iPadOS 17 adoption has been faster than iPadOS 16 adoption.
iOS 17 was first released in September, and Apple has released three major updates so far. A fourth major update, iOS 17.4, is set to come out in March.

Is the huge changes to iOS 18 be a even high hurdle for the community to accept quickly?

Apple Preparing iOS 17.3.1 Update for iPhone
Apple appears to be internally testing an iOS 17.3.1 update for the iPhone, based on evidence of the software version in our website's analytics...

I'm thinking 17.3.1 today and beta 2 tomorrow. Mileage may vary.........

Considering that 17.3.1 is a small “in-between” update, whereas iOS 17.4 adds considerably more stuff and needs to be out by 6 March, I would not be surprised if they pushed 17.4 DB2 out first.
My money is on 17.4b2 today.
Unless 17.3.1 is for a zero day fix.

What will be interesting to see now is if there is any VisionPro related stuff included now that it’s in the wild.
I doubt it but it is possible.
