Apple is on the verge of launching iOS 17.6, marked by build number 21G79. This forthcoming update is primarily expected to deliver bug fixes and performance improvements, given the minimal feature additions noted during its beta testing phase.
A reliable source on social media, known for accurate leaks regarding iOS updates, shared this information, highlighting the transition from the scrapped iOS 17.5.2 to this imminent release. The beta phase for iOS 17.6 commenced shortly after the initial developer beta for iOS 18, with the sole notable addition being the “Catch Up” feature in the Apple TV app.
This new function caters to MLS Season Pass viewers, allowing them to catch up on missed parts of a game through curated highlights. As Apple gears up for the broader release of iOS 18, expected this fall for iPhone XS/XR and later models, these interim updates remain minimalistic.
iOS 18 promises significant upgrades, including flexible app icon placement on the home screen, new dark and tinted app icons, and enhanced Apple Intelligence for compatible devices.
