A few days after releasing iOS 17.4.1 to iPhone users, Apple is now seeding another build of this operating system for the iPhone. Interestingly, it's not available over the air, so you must really want to update your iPhone to get this new version.
The previous iOS 17.4.1 build was 21E236, and Apple released it during the evening version 21E237. The release notes remain the same: “This update provides important bug fixes and security updates and is recommended for all users.”
Among the bug fixes, Apple also released two important security updates:
