I installed the iOS 17.2 update on my iPhones as soon as it was released. So far I haven't found any major issues.

There are still some small bugs like previous iOS 17 builds including sluggish keyboard and notifications in the lock screen.

I also went through some feedback, and users seem to be happy with this update. The battery is the same as the last update, if not better.

Some users also reported that after updating from iOS 17.1.2 to iOS 17.2 they noticed that their iPhone runs more smoothly.

So if you are on an older iOS 17 build then you can update your iPhone to iOS 17.2 without worrying about anything.

But if your iPhone is running iOS 16 and you don't need any changes as everything is working as expected then you can skip the update.

The performance of the update may be the same for most users but not for all. Also performance varies between models.
