Download iOS 17.7.3 and iPadOS 17.7.3 Updates for iPhone and iPad Today with Security Fixes and Other Improvements
Those who are not enjoying the perks and benefits of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 don’t have to worry about anything at all, as Apple has released a brand-new software update for you too.
The new update is iOS 17.7.3 and iPadOS 17.7.3, and it is packed with bug fixes and security patches, ensuring that your iPhone and iPad keep working in the best possible manner.
This update is only available for those who did not update their devices to iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 for any reason at all. In order to download iOS 17.7.3 and iPadOS 17.7.3, just go to Settings > General > Software Update on your device.
As soon as the update shows up, just download it right away.
There are no new features in this update. Also, Apple isn’t going to keep on releasing new iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 updates forever. Eventually, it will ask you to upgrade to iOS 18 and iPadOS 18.
Sure, you can dismiss the notifications indefinitely, but I will recommend taking some action as older firmware is always vulnerable to a lot of security risks.
Upgrading to iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 has a lot of benefits. You get access to a whole host of new features, starting from amazing Lock Screen and Home Screen customization options.
Developers tend to stop supporting older firmware with time as well. Though iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 support is going to be around for a while, it’s best you consider this too.
A lot of apps available on the App Store will prioritize newer firmware and ship with features that only work with iOS 18 and iPadOS 18. Chances of missing out on those features become high with every passing minute.
My point is, make a decision fast whether or not you want to stick around with iOS 17 or upgrade to iOS 18.
