Thanks to the netizens for submitting clues for Brush, Destruction, Genecos, Happy Little Hedgehog, Kille, Capture a Nokia Alive, Sun Valley, The King Asked Me to Reverse, Vnana, and Yuer Xiao! According to news on January 23, Apple pushed the iOS 17.3 update (build number: 21D50) to iPhone users today. This update comes 34 days after the last release.

It should be noted that due to cache issues with node server configurations in various Apple regions, there may be a slight delay in detecting upgrades in some places, usually within half an hour, not too long.

The full description of this update is as follows:

Stolen Device Protection

• Improves the security of iPhone and Apple ID, requiring the use of Face ID or Touch ID (no password fallback) to perform certain actions.

Lock Screen

• To celebrate Black History Month, new unified wallpapers pay tribute to Black history and culture.

Music

• Collaborative playlists allow inviting friends to join the playlist and everyone can add, reorder and delete songs.
• Can add emoji reactions to any song in a collaborative playlist.

Other improvements:

• Supports AirPlay hotel playback function, which can stream content directly to the TV in specific hotel rooms.
• AppleCare & Warranty in Settings displays coverage for all devices signed in with your Apple ID.
• Crash detection optimization (all iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 models).

Security Update

Apple urges users to update to the official version of iOS 17.3 as soon as possible, which fixes 15 high-severity security vulnerabilities that could lead to user data being accessed by third-party applications.

One of the vulnerabilities exists in "Mail Search", which allows third-party applications to access user information; another vulnerability exists in the Safari browser, which can reveal the user's private browsing activity in the settings.
