If you want to try this next-generation update early, you can get it at the Apple Beta Software Program ahead of its expected release in September.Why did Apple release iOS 14.8 just days before iOS 15? iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 4 owners to move on because they are not supported by iOS 16. It may also be time for iPhone 6s, iPhone 7. At this stage, barring the discovery of any serious bugs, I suspect this is the end of the line for iOS 15. If you have been waiting to upgrade, wait no longer.Īt the time of publication, Apple has not released another iOS 15 beta, and the company’s focus is now squarely on iOS 16, with a fourth beta released earlier this week. Apple also clearly has confidence in the update as it has stopped signing iOS 15.6 today, which means you can no longer downgrade to the previous release. I have received isolated reports of the update failing to install first time, but this is no deal breaker. This is a common pattern as iOS generations mature, but it is commendable after such a rocky start. One week on, iOS 15.6.1 has continued Apple’s strong recent run of stable releases. I will publish my final verdict here in one week.Ġ8/25 Update: Final Verdict. Note: hesitant upgraders can bookmark this guide because it will be updated with any relevant flaws or features I find. My advice is to upgrade as soon as possible. Yes, isolated problems remain, but no software is ever bug-free. This makes the releases critically important and priority updates for all users.Īt this stage, iOS 15 has proved itself to be consistently reliable, and iOS 15.6.1 looks set to follow this trend. The flaws allow hackers to execute potentially malicious code on iPhones, iPads, Macs and MacBooks. iOS 15.6.1, iPadOS 15.6.1, and macOS Monterey 12.5.1 all contain fixes for two zero-day vulnerabilities ( CVE-2022-32894 - found in Kernel and CVE-2022-32893 - WebKit), both of which Apple believes “may have been actively exploited.” Yes, the update has no new features, but the big news can be found on Apple’s official security page. Apple’s iOS 15.6.1 release notes are minimal, saying only: “This update provides important security updates and is recommended for all users.”
