Apple released iOS 16.6.1 to iPhone users last week, and now it’s out with an update for older iPhone and iPad devices. iOS 15.7.9 is now rolling out with what Apple says are “important security fixes” for those users.
The official release notes for iOS 15.7.9 don’t mention any new features beyond the security enhancements. Apple simply says that iOS 15.7.9 “provides important security fixes and is recommended for all users.”
You can update your iPhone to iOS 15.7.9 by heading to the Settings app, choosing General, then choosing Software Update. The build number for today’s update is 2A2197. It’s available for the following devices:
- iPhone 6s (all models), iPhone 7 (all models), iPhone SE (1st generation), iPad Air 2, iPad mini (4th generation), and iPod touch (7th generation)
We recommend installing this update as soon as possible due to the focus on security fixes. Apple will likely update its dedicated “Apple security releases” webpage with details on the vulnerabilities patched in today’s update soon.
