As the year is about to end, numerous versions of the iPhone operating systems have been disclosed even before the tech giant released them officially.
The reportedly upcoming updates to the iOS include iOS 17.0.3, iOS 17.1.1, and iOS 17.1.2.
The possibility of the following iOS updates was reported by Mac Rumors on Tuesday.

Regarding the iOS 17.2. Version, the publication stated that it’s going to be a trivial update with fixes for bugs and security vulnerabilities.
The iOS 17.2 is the same update that was stared in the face by some users last week, complaining about a bug that caused the Messages app to misplace when rearranging app icons on the Home Screen.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), @akhimohammed1, a prolific tipster, a day earlier brought the error into light after encountering himself.
“New bug spotted, iOS 17.2,” he wrote.
Since there is a deluge of holidays coming up in the weeks ahead, iOS 17.2.1 might not be released until next month.
However, if there are important problems to fix, they might release it sooner. Before this, there wasn't an iOS 16.2.1 update, but Apple did release iOS 15.2.1 in mid-January 2022 to fix a security issue with HomeKit.
iOS 17.2.1 is like a temporary solution while Apple keeps testing a bigger iOS 17.3 update. The new update will have a security feature called Stolen Device Protection and will let you make collaborative Apple Music playlists again.
