Now Corrected iPhone Bug Undeleted Old Photos

Find out what caused this

Earlier this week, Apple released a new software update for its iPhones and iPads--version 17.5.1 of its iOS system. Nothing to see here, you may think, since even the serial numbers of that update show you Apple does this all the time to fix problems and add new features.
