 The data transfer problem has been fixed by Apple for all compatible iPhones and iPads

 

Apple has started another bug-fixing update for iOS/iPadOS 17 a little more than a week after the release of the new operating system. The business released iOS/iPadOS 17.0.2 on Tuesday for all iPhones and iPads running OS version 17. Actually, this update was released last Thursday, but it was exclusively for the iPhone 15. It is now available for all models that support it.

 

A bug that might arise while attempting to transfer data from one iPhone to another, a procedure individuals can use to more quickly set up a new phone, is fixed in iOS/iPadOS 17.0.2. The iPhone can crash or stall in the middle of the transfer, stopping it from finishing.

 

The most recent update is intended for the following iPhones and iPads: iPhone XS and later models; iPad Pro 12.9-inch and later models; iPad Pro 10.5-inch and later models; iPad Pro 11-inch and later models; iPad Air third generation and later models; iPad 6th generation and later models; and iPad Mini fifth generation and later models.

 

Go to Settings, choose General, and then hit Update Now to update your smartphone.

 

Apple has been busy in recent weeks with upgrades to its most important devices.

 

The firm released emergency last-minute fixes for iOS/iPadOS 16, WatchOS 9.7, and MacOS Ventura 13.5 earlier this month. These updates were released to address zero-click vulnerabilities that were used to distribute the Pegasus malware from the NSO Group.

 

Pegasus is able to remotely access a device to gather data, listen in on conversations and email exchanges, and spy on people using the camera and microphone. Pegasus was created to take advantage of security holes in a personal device.

 

After then, on September 18, Apple unveiled the newest significant software updates for its most important devices: iOS/iPadOS 17 for iPhones and iPads, WatchOS 10 for the Apple Watch, and TVOS 17 for the Apple TV. But just as users were becoming acclimated to the new versions, further changes appeared.

 

Apple released security updates for the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch on September 21 to address flaws that were taken advantage of by Predator, a pesky bit of malware. These issues were found, according to Apple, by Bill Marczak of Google's Threat Analysis Group and Maddie Stone of The Citizen Lab at the Munk School of the University of Toronto.

 

The Citizen Lab and Google's Threat Analysis Group both published studies outlining how a zero-day exploit chain was used to set up the Predator spyware and then used to spy on former Egyptian MP Ahmed Eltantawy after he declared his intention to run for president in the 2024 Egyptian elections.

 

Governments frequently utilize spyware tools like Pegasus and Predator to target certain people, including officials, political activists, dissidents, and journalists. To safeguard all users and prospective victims, any faults that these kinds of malware exploit must be completely fixed.
