Apple Releases iOS 17.3.1 with Text Bug Fixes

On Thursday, Apple released a surprise iteration of iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 as iOS 17.3.1. According to the release notes, the update fixes a bug that could cause text to unexpectedly duplicate or overlap while typing. The iOS 17.3.1 and iPadOS 17.3.1 update comes a few weeks after Apple released iOS 17.3 with theStolen Device Protection feature.

The iOS 17.3.1 seems to be a pretty minor update that fixes a text issue and contains general bug fixes for iPhone users. According to theApple security releases document, the iOS 17.3.1 update has no published CVE entries. This means the update does not contain security patches or bug fixes that address issues filed in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database. Also, there are no new features across the updates, which is pretty common with a sub-point update.
