Tech giant Apple has released another update for iOS, just weeks after dropping the landmark 17.1.1. 

iOS 17.1.2 was made available to the public on Nov. 30 and aims to patch two possible security exploits documented in 17.1.1. 

“This update provides important security fixes and is recommended for all users,” Apple said in the rollout of the new version.
