The iOS 16.1.2 update can be downloaded over-the-air on devices by going to Settings -> General -> Software Update. According to Apple's update description, the iOS 16.1.2 update introduces improved carrier compatibility as well as crash detection optimization on the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models.
