How to update to iOS 17.5

Since the iOS 17.5 update is available to the Public, everyone with the eligible iPhone will be receiving the update, if they haven’t already. In case you have already installed the iOS 17.5 release candidate, you will not receive the update since both share same build number.

But if you have only installed iOS 17.5 beta, then you can easily turn off the beta and the iOS 17.5 will appear immediately. To check for the update or turn off beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update.
