The question I always want an answer to is are there are serious issues with 17.4 that might make me want to wait until 17.4.1? I can't find that question addressed on the web. I run an iPhone SE (2020). I always have performance issues after an iOS update and usually wait a week or more before updating to see if anything major crops up.


Does 17.4 look like a stable release?

I went ahead with the update and my message app started freezing up. That eventually corrected itself, but then I noticed that many of my “notes” in Contacts have disappeared. I downloaded the next update (.1), to no avail. Then I reinstalled a previous version of my contacts from the cloud… but they didn’t go far enough back. VERY disappointing. I really count on those notes. 🤨
