iOS 17.1, which will resolve the high Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) issue of iPhone 12 in France, is on the way. Today, leaks have provided a date for the iOS 17.1 update. Let’s take a look at when iOS 17.1 will be released and what new features it will bring. Of course, we will also discuss the problems it addresses.

Fix for SAR Value Issue on iPhone 12!

The high SAR value issue that emerged with the iPhone 12 in recent days had caused concern for Apple. The high SAR value of the iPhone 12 had led to discussions about its sales being banned in France. Apple, which stated that it would fix this with a software update, is keeping its promise. The iOS 17.1 update resolves the high SAR value issue of the iPhone 12. So, iPhone 12 models can now be used comfortably in France.

In addition, iOS 17.1, which introduces the Favorites system for Apple Music, also allows iPhone models to have several enhancements such as AirDrop over the internet, improvements in the Wallet app, and a flashlight indicator on the dynamic wallpaper.

With these updates, the increased power consumption issue when paired with devices using watchOS 10.1 is resolved with iOS 17.1. The problem of interactive widgets displaying blank on incompatible versions is also fixed with this new version of iOS 17. Finally, there will be some changes to the action button for iPhone 15 Pro models with the new operating system version.

It appears that iOS 17.1 will save iPhone 12, shaping the latest iPhone versions. With the SAR value correction, the sales ban in France will be lifted, and iPhone 12 will be purchasable again. Of course, some issues introduced with iOS 17 will be resolved with 17.1.

When will iOS 17.1 be released?
