Well, as an AppleSeed beta tester, I’ve been using it for about 6 weeks, and it’s been stable for me; some early bugs were fixed by the RC version. But be sure to read the update documentation, because some features now work differently. IMPORTANT: 2 critical security vulnerabilities were fixed in the released version of 17.4, so it is really necessary to update to it.

Since updating to iOS 17.4.1 on my iPhone 15 Pro, I can no longer text any android users. I've tried all the suggested solutions from Apple including a complete Reset of my phone. Nothing works! I really wish I could go back to an earlier iOS version. Hopefully, they'll get this fixed in an upcoming release. If it ever does get fixed, I'll pass on all future iOS updates after that.

Should we just wait for 17.4.1?

Can you explain why? (This has not been the advice that I’ve received up until now.)

But, the same advice, to not update, has been given by someone for every version of iOS since iOS 1. So, now what’s a person to do?

I meant to say iPhone 12 Pro, not 15 Pro

That doesn’t change the answer.
