Today Apple released minor updates for iPhone and Mac. These updates include bug and security fixes, so I recommend everyone install at their earliest convenience, especially if you’ve already updated to iOS 17 and macOS 14.
Also available is iPadOS and iOS 16.7.4 for older devices that can’t upgrade to iPadOS or iOS 17, presumably with the same security fixes.
Strangely, it seems that there is no iPadOS 17.2.1, at least not yet.
