iOS 17.1 Arrives With Updates
Apple has officially released iOS 17.1, the latest version of its iPhone operating system. The update has been available in beta since late September, during which time its biggest new feature has arguably been the ability to continue AirDrop transfers over a cellular connection if the two connected devices move out of Wi-Fi range after the sending process has started.
Apple announced the feature back at its developer conference in June, but it didn’t arrive in time for the main iOS 17 release in September 2023.
