[Software Update] iOS 17.7.1 is Out!

[i.Singaporean]

Yeah. I know. But troublesome for me now.

If you were able to install 17.6.1 there's nothing to do

This re-release is for those who failed to update to 17.6.1 for whatever reason

Apple most likely isn't going to say, but probably what happened is that there were a set of unexpected conditions where the first 17.6.1 installer wasn't able to fully install everything. It failed gracefully in that your iPhone isn't bricked and the patches it was able to install work fine, but flags were sent to Apple about parts of the installation that weren't performed.

Apple then released a new build of 17.6.1, but it only applies to those iPhones where the previous installation didn't complete successfully.

That's why if you have 17.6.1 and don't see an update available, it's ok, you're good to go.

No need, can update straight to iOS 18 without installing 17.7

No. Just go straight to 18. There is an option at the bottom of the update screen.

Personally, I installed iOS 18.0 since Dev Beta 1. No issues. The problems are with 18.1 and Apple Intelligence.

Personally for me, no. For a lot of iOS 18.0 users during Beta testing also no. The problem is 18.1 with Apple Intelligence.

Is it recommended to factory reset and restore from iTunes or iCloud backup after updating to iOS 18?

When IP15 was initially launched with iOS17 , many users including me faced very bad overheating problems so when there was an iOS 17 update which was supposed fix this issue, I followed other online suggestions and did a factory reset and restore from backup after the update.
