Download Firmware Apple iOS 17.1

Apple has released version 17.1 of iOS. In iOS 17, which is suitable for the iPhone Xs/Xr and later, it is possible to create a personal calling screen. The person you call will see this. There is also a standby mode, where the phone functions as a smart display when charging. AirDrop, the messaging app and autocorrect have also been improved. This update adds, among other things, the ability to perform AirDrop via the internet, if the devices are no longer directly near each other. The complete changelog looks like this:
