Apple today released iOS 17.6 and iPadOS 17.6, marking the sixth point updates to the iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 operating systems that were introduced last year. These updates arrive two months after the debut of iOS 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5.
iOS 17.6 and iPadOS 17.6 can be downloaded on eligible iPhones and iPads over-the-air by navigating to Settings > General > Software Update. Additionally, Apple has released iOS 15.8.3 and iOS 16.7.9 security updates for devices not compatible with iOS 17.
These latest updates do not introduce any notable new features, focusing instead on unspecified bug fixes and security enhancements. No significant changes were identified during the beta testing phase.
Apple recommends all users install these updates due to the important bug fixes and security updates included. iOS 17.6 and iPadOS 17.6 are expected to be among the final updates for iOS 17 and iPadOS 17, aside from any necessary ongoing security fixes. Apple is set to release iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 in September.
