Apple has just released iOS 17.7.2 and iPadOS 17.7.2 for both iPhone and iPad, with security fixes.
iOS 17.7.2 and iPadOS 17.7.2 Now Available for Download with Important Security Fixes for iPhone and iPad
Do keep in mind iOS 17.7.2 and iPadOS 17.7.2 updates are for those who don’t want to upgrade to iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 just yet.
Today, Apple has released iOS 17.7.2 and iPadOS 17.7.2, which promise important security fixes for all iPhone and iPad users around the world.
In order to download the iOS 17.7.2 and iPadOS 17.7.2 updates right now, all you have to do is this:
Step 1. Make sure you have 50% or more battery life remaining.
Step 2. Connect to Wi-Fi.
Step 3. Launch the ‘Settings’ app.
Step 4. Go to General > Software Update.
Step 5. Download the latest update from here.
Once the installation is complete, you can start using your iPhone and iPad normally, but obviously with more security fixes.
Do keep in mind Apple is not going to support iOS 17.7.x and iPadOS 17.7.x forever. Apple will force users to upgrade to iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 eventually.
If you are on iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, you too have a brand-new update. Apple has released iOS 18.1.1 and iPadOS 18.1.1 for you, and you should install it by following the exact same steps that are posted above.
However, the big update everyone should look forward to is iOS 18.2 and iPadOS 18.2. If you have an Apple Intelligence-compatible iPhone and iPad, you’re in for a real treat.
Image generation is finally coming to your iPhone and iPad, thanks to Image Playground. The ability to generate custom emojis is also on its way, thanks to Genmoji and ChatGPT support. Siri is going to include this feature as well.
Rumors suggest Apple may release the new update some time around December 9th, but I hope it is released sooner rather than later.
If there’s one surprise Apple wants to deliver, it better be an early release of iOS 18.2 and iPadOS 18.2.
