It also addresses <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2023\/09\/more-countries-are-concerned-about-the-iphone-12s-emf-radiation-profile\/\">French regulators&#8217; concerns<\/a> that the iPhone 12 produced too much electromagnetic radiation in certain conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest new features among the software refreshes are on the Apple Watch and HomePods. If you&#8217;re a frequent user of AirDrop, however, and find yourself throwing huge files to people, iOS 17.1 adds a new &#8220;Use Cellular Data&#8221; option. If both the sender and recipient have iCloud accounts, an AirDrop transfer can continue over a cellular connection if your phone leaves Wi-Fi or Bluetooth range or drops the connection. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2023\/09\/28\/ios-17-1-enables-airdrop-over-cellular\/\">MacRumors shows the changes and settings involved<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in iOS 17.1, StandBy gets new display options, including display-off timers. No Journal app has arrived yet. One new thing that has arrived is a patch to the iPhone 12&#8217;s radio operation to accommodate, as Apple put it, &#8220;the protocol used by French regulators.&#8221; France&#8217;s National Frequency Agency (ANFR) found that the iPhone 12 exceeded a &#8220;limbs&#8221; limit of radiation, for when the phone is in a pocket or purse or otherwise against the body, and called for Apple to stop selling the device and potentially recall it. Apple, noting that the device was &#8220;certified by multiple international bodies,&#8221; still agreed to address the issue in iOS 17.1.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1978205#p3\">Read 4 remaining paragraphs<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1978205&amp;comments=1\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Ars Technica &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1978205\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iOS 17.1, macOS 14.1, and other Apple updates arrive with a few new tricks<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enlarge \/ Apple&#8217;s iOS 17.1 release includes updates to the Settings for StandBy on the iPhone.
