Have you installed iOS 17 yet? Then you can update again soon. However, the date of iOS 17.1 is already known. The latest update for Apple’s operating system should be released this month.
This can be read on the French ANFR website. The date for iOS 17.1 was already shared there in advance due to the problems with the radiation of the iPhone 12. The update to iOS 17.1 should solve this ‘danger’.
