New updates available for download
Great start!
Apple released updates overnight that fix bugs, but also improve user security thanks to vulnerabilities that have been plugged. If you updated your iPhone and iPad to iOS 18.0.1 and iPadOS 18.0.1 when you woke up, it’s time to do the same with other Apple products you own.
Apple released the following updates last night:
- macOS 15.0.1
- watchOS 11.0.1
- visionOS 2.0.1
macOS 15.0.1
In the case of macOS 15.0.1, here are the problems that the update fixes:
- Messages may stop unexpectedly when you reply to a message with a shared Apple Watch face.
- Improves compatibility with third-party security software.
To download this new update on a compatible Mac, go to the Apple menu at the top left of your screen then System Settings, here you will see a software update menu on your left.
visionOS 2.0.1
Apple also takes care of its Apple Vision Pro users, here is everything that has been corrected in this update:
- YouTube video player in Safari may freeze Safari
- Web extension data may be lost after updating to visionOS 2
- Messages may stop unexpectedly when you reply to a message with a shared Apple Watch face
To update your Apple Vision Pro, go to the home screen of your Vision Pro by pressing the Digital Crown or accessing with the gesture of your right or left hand. Once on the home screen, go to Settings then General Software Update. Your Apple Vision Pro will ask you to accept terms of service, then the download will begin. Your Apple Vision Pro will need to reboot for the installation of visionOS 2.0.1.
watchOS 11.0.1
Our Apple Watches are also updated with several fixes, here are the details of the update:
- The Apple Watch could restart unexpectedly for some users.
- The Music app could close unexpectedly when loading media content.
- The battery could discharge faster than expected.
- The touchscreen may become temporarily unresponsive for some Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Series 10, and Apple Watch Ultra 2 users.
- The Messages app could close unexpectedly when replying to a message with a shared Apple Watch face.
In addition to fixing nasty bugs, this update will also relieve the battery life of your Apple Watch! Well, if you had the Series 10, you may not have seen anything, but older models may have noticed drops in battery life, that will be a relief for some.
To update your Apple Watch, take your iPhone in your hands and then head to the Watch application. Here you will have to go to General and Software Update. Please note, for the update to be installed on your Apple Watch, it must be at a minimum charge level and preferably connected to a charger.
The alarm clock is lively today!
Attention for Mac users, if you work on your Mac, it is never the idea of the century to start installing the update before starting your day, because it can take a lot of time.
