Apple has today released iOS 17.1.1, iPadOS 17.1.1, macOS 14.1.1, and watchOS 10.1.1 to the public.

According to Apple's release notes, iOS 17.1.1 provides bug fixes for the iPhone including:

  • In rare circumstances, Apple Pay and other NFC features may become unavailable on iPhone 15 models after wireless charging in certain cars
  • Weather Lock Screen widget may not correctly display snow

The release notes for macOS 14.1.1 read as follows:

This update provides important bug fixes and security updates and is recommended for all users.

The release notes for watchOS 10.1.1 say that it “provides important bug fixes and addresses an issue that could cause the battery to drain more quickly for some users.”

As these updates appear to have been released to address a small set of specific issues, our expectation is that they do not contain any accessibility changes for blind and low vision users; however, if you notice any changes, improvements or regressions in your own use of these releases, please post a comment below with your findings.

iOS 17.1.1 is available via Over-the-Air Update (Settings > General > Software Update) via Finder on a Mac with macOS Catalina or later, or via iTunes on a PC or Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier.

To install macOS Sonoma 14.1.1, choose System Settings from the Apple menu, select General in the table, click Software Update in the scroll area, and click the Update Now button to begin the update process. If other updates are available, you can click "More info" to see details about them and select specific updates to install.

watchOS 10.1.1 is available via Over-the-Air Update (Settings > General > Software Update) or by going to the Watch app on your iPhone and navigating to General> Software Update. To install the update, your Watch must be connected to its charger and have at least 50% battery power.
