And makes the setting to anonymize your MAC address actually work after 3 years of leaking your MAC.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The update has been available in beta since late last month, during which time its biggest new feature has arguably been the ability to continue AirDrop transfers over a cellular connection if the two connected devices move out of Wi-Fi range after the sending process has started.

Apple announced the feature back at its developer conference in June, but it didn’t arrive in time for the main iOS 17 release last month.

As shown in iOS 17.1’s beta releases, the update includes a handful of other minor tweaks and additions.

There’s a new Favorites feature for Apple Music that lets you add songs, albums, playlists, and artists to your library and signal your music tastes to the app’s recommendation algorithms, and the settings menu for the StandBy feature has been tweaked to give you more control over when the phone’s display turns off when used in this smart display mode.

This update is also designed to resolve the iPhone 12’s issues in France, where the country’s regulator temporarily banned the sale of the device for breaching radiation exposure limits.

Other tweaks include the expanded availability of the flashlight indicator in the Dynamic Island (the icon was previously available with the iPhone 15 Pro but is now coming to all Dynamic Island-equipped devices) and the ability to choose a particular album for Photo Shuffle to pick images from.

Favorites are way more obvious in Apple Music (again), Halleluja!
