iOS 17.1 update includes a fix for a rumored screen burn-in bug, as well as a fix for a significant location privacy bug: According to Report

The first significant upgrade since iOS 17 was released in September is likely to arrive next week. The iPhone manufacturer has also distributed the update's release candidate to beta testers ahead of its official release. Aside providing new features for Apple's mobile operating system, the firm is also releasing remedies for two flaws that were present in iOS 17 and were causing consumers to have problems. According to reports, an image retention flaw that afflicted some iPhone models has been fixed, and Apple's default iOS keyboard will be substantially faster following the upgrade.

According to MacRumors, the iOS 17.1 update will correct a flaw that "may cause display image persistence," citing the feature notes for the upcoming software version, which is already available for testing via the public beta channel. The iOS 17.1 update will be available to compatible iPhone devices on October 24.

Screen burn-in issues have been observed on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models on numerous sites, including Apple's forums and Reddit, weeks after the phones were released. While it was reported that the iPhone 15 models may be affected by a hardware issue that was creating the supposed burn-in issue, it looks that the issue will be fixed in the upcoming software update.

Apple's forthcoming iOS 17.1 update will also address a previously reported privacy problem affecting the Significant Locations option. According to MacRumors, iOS 17 resets the location-related setting to default when pairing an Apple Watch or transferring data from Apple's wearable. This problem has supposedly been rectified, as have difficulties with iOS 17's default keyboard.

Apple resolved a fault that plagued the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max earlier this month, causing the phone to overheat while in use. At the time, the firm recognized that there was a glitch that may cause the iPhone 15 Pro models, which are equipped with Apple's newest A17 Pro CPU, to overheat, and that some applications, such as Uber and Instagram, which were not optimized for the new chip and iOS 17, could exacerbate the problem. The newly published iOS 17.0.3 version is said to have fixed these problems.
