I believe that new release of IOS affects iphone models differently, so I need to ask about the effect on iphone 17 due to the new 26.3 if it will be updated from 26.1 specifically

It's been out just a manner of minutes at this point, so I doubt anyone can give you much information at all at this point. I have updated, and all the release notes say is this is primarily bug fixes and performance improvements.

Best thing to do is ignore user posts in Reddit, X, and even the Apple Support Community forums. They’re always negative and from sources of unknown competence and/or motive, usually claiming each update to be the worst ever.

There are some good YouTubers that are pretty neutral and have a significant number of followers etc.
