Apple appears to be conducting internal testing of the iOS 17.1.1 update for iPhones this week, based on software data from our website’s analytics logs.

iOS 17.1.1 will almost certainly focus on bug fixes, but it’s unclear exactly what problems the update will fix. The update may include the same fix for Wi-Fi connectivity issues that Apple released in the initial iOS 17.2 beta, and may resolve an issue that caused some iPhones to temporarily shut down overnight for users still experiencing the issue. Apple has also promised to fix the BMW wireless charging issue affecting the iPhone 15 series in an update later this year, but it is not yet known whether this fix will be included in iOS 17.1.1.

It’s unclear when iOS 17.1.1 will be available to the public, but we estimate the update will be released within the next week or two.

iOS 17.2 remains in beta testing and is expected to be released in December, so iOS 17.1.1 will be an interim update. iOS 17.2 includes many new features and changes, including the promised Journal app, the ability for Apple Music subscribers to collaborate on playlists, a translation option for the Action button on iPhone 15 Pro models, an iMessage Contact Key Verification security option, additional weather, and more. Clock Widgets and more.
