Apple releases iOS 17.0.2 for the iPhone 15 line only, to prevent the phone from freezing while transferring data from an older iPhone
To make it as clear as possible, the phone could freeze up, if during the setup process for your new iPhone 15 series phone, you choose “From Another iPhone” to transfer apps and data from your previous iPhone to your new one. If you decide to manually set up your new iPhone 15 series device and load all of your apps individually from the App Store, you won’t have an issue. But since the “From Another iPhone” button makes things a lot easier, simply install iOS 17.0.2 before you start to transfer data and apps and you won’t have to worry.
Apple releases iOS 17.0.2 only for iPhone 15 series models to prevent a data transfer glitch
We do need to point out that if your iPhone 15 series model is frozen, and you follow the directions in the support document, you should still install iOS 17.0.2 before you continue transferring apps and data from your old iPhone to your new one.
