Apple continues to refine its iOS 17 and iOS 18 software updates
Apple has a real mess with its software updates. The company is currently working on iOS 17.6.2, iOS 18 and iOS 18.1. All this is just within the iPhone realm, as their respective software engineers are also developing new updates for iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, HomePod, and other devices.
A couple of weeks ago Apple released iOS 17.6.1 with an important security patch which fixed a serious bug in what we thought would be the last update before the official arrival of iOS 18.
However, it seems we were wrong. The last iOS 17 software update will be iOS 17.6.2 and it could arrive imminently. However, it is not ruled out that in the future Apple will continue to offer new iOS 17 software updates to improve its security. The company will also present iPadOS 17.6.2 for iPad.
iOS 17.6.2 could be released very soon

Although iOS 18 is about to arrive on the iPhone – the software update is expected to be officially available in mid-September – The vast majority of iPhone users are still running iOS 17.
Apple is preparing to release iOS 17.6.2 for all those users who have not installed the beta version of iOS 18. This is a minor update and does not include major new features. But it could incorporate Major security improvements. Therefore it is advisable to install it.
