Apple Releases iOS 15.7 and iPadOS 15.7 With Security Updates

[MacRumors]

Alongside iOS 16, Apple has released new versions of iOS 15.7 and iPadOS 15.7. The iOS 15.7 update is aimed at those who are not able to upgrade to iOS 16, while iPadOS 15.7 is available while we wait for the launch of iPadOS 16 in October.

The software updates can be downloaded on eligible iPhones over-the-air by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

The iOS 15.7 and iPadOS 15.7 updates address multiple kernel vulnerabilities in addition to fixing security issues with Contacts, Maps, Safari, Safari Extensions, Shortcuts, and WebKit.

Apple says that one of the kernel vulnerabilities was actively exploited, so those who cannot update to iOS 16 should install iOS 15.7 as soon as possible, and iPad owners should update to iOS 15.7.

Most exciting update today!

I accidentally clicked on ios 15.7 instead of 16, damn!

Can you still update if you are on a newer device like you were able to last year if you aren't ready to update to iOS 16? Or did apple throw that plan out the window?

 

[doboy]

Will stick with this for a while until iOS 16 gets some initial updates.

 

[Insidious]

I was given the option to choose from both updates on my 8 Plus. Has iOS 16 been testing well on the iPhone 8+? I feel conflicted now.

Happy Upday! Enjoy the download and the progress bar.

Why is 15.7 downloading and not iOS 16?

Why is 15.7 downloading and not iOS 16?

Everyone is downloading iOS 16 and overloading the servers.

That’s what I seem to have done. Will we get the chance to update to iOS 16 when this is done?

Yes or you can cancel easy.

Yes, just have to wait for this useless update to finish first

There’s no option to cancel

Mine gave me two choices. Didn’t take a screenshot but screen read: “also available iOS 16”.

 

[DaveFlash]

i can't do anything, it keeps asking to accept new terms, i do, but it then keeps failing to do so.

 

[Ojiisan]

Didn't realize it wasn't the new IOS16 update.. Oh well i'm retired and have nothing better to do then watch my iphone being updated. And my iMac with it's update of Monterey. Guess my wife old SE is getting this last update of 15.7 too. Wait i can go outside and watch my grass grow too. Choices lol

 

[Wackery]

Preparing update…
15.7… garbage

 

[planteater]

Downloading the 15.7 update. I’ll do the 16 in a few days after you guys test it.

 

[snipr125]

Probably best to update your devices to 15.7, the most stable version of IOS 15, then update to 16 after a few updates, unless you want to be a ios 16 beta tester of course 😜!

 

[RobArtLyn]

Just updated my iPhone and iPad. That appears to be a mistake. The App Store insists that the new Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions be accepted, but all that happens is an error. Can’t update any apps.

UPDATE: No problems updating apps now. It appears to have been a server side issue.

 

[Silverado]

Will stick with this for a while until iOS 16 gets some initial updates.

Where is the fun in that?!! 😅

It’s not a glitch! It’s a feature!
