Apple Preparing iOS17.6.1 Update Amidst iOS18 and iOS18.1 Anticipation

TapTechNews August 7th news, although the outside world is full of expectations for the upcoming iOS18 and iOS18.1 systems, the vast majority of iPhone users are still running iOS17. For this group, Apple is preparing for the iOS17.6.1 update and it is expected to be launched soon.

According to 9to5mac, this news comes from an anonymous social media user with a good track record. This user has accurately predicted the update details of Apple's iOS system many times before. According to him, the internal version number of iOS17.6.1 is 21G93.

However, Apple may also cancel iOS17.6.1 before the official release. A similar situation occurred with iOS17.5.2 last year, and Apple eventually abandoned this version and instead launched iOS17.6 a few weeks later.

TapTechNews noticed that iOS17.6 is a minor update provided by Apple for iPhone users, mainly including a series of bug fixes and security improvements. In addition, the system has also introduced a new feature called CatchUp in the TV app, using machine learning technology to generate highlight clips for Major League Soccer (MLS) games.

It is not yet clear what new features iOS17.6.1 will bring, but it can be determined that this will also be a minor update mainly focusing on bug fixes and minor improvements.

At the same time, the official version of iOS18 is expected to be released in September, while iOS18.1 with the AppleIntelligence feature is planned to be launched in October.
