Apple Releases iOS 15.7 and iPadOS 15.7 With Security Updates

[DSpaceNine]

Going with iOS 15.7 for now on my iPhone 13 Pro, giving iOS 16 a bit more time to settle. Unless I hear the new Apple Classical music app is in iOS 16, that would get me to 16 sooner.

Can't update to 15.7 using the phone, and iTunes on my Mac is trying to download iOS 16 by default. Is there another way to snag 15.7 via Mac?

 

[spartan1967]

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

Not so useless considering Apple still lets you update 15. Maybe 16 still so buggy even Apple is yielding with this 15 update? Why else?

 

[pinkkie]

aka the update to slow down your device to make you "upgrade" to iOS 16 in hope it will make it faster again (it won't)

Sweet, I think I’m finally ready to update my iPhone 12PM from 14.8

Huh, I got an iPhone SE in June 2021 (direct from Apple); I thought this SE was still good to go for iOS 16, but 15.7 is the only option with which I was presented. I'm updating to 15.7 and will check to see if my SE can upgrade to 16.0 afterwards.

I got my iPhone 13 upgraded to iOS 16 and updates still won’t install. iPad on iOS 15.7 same problem.

In that case, I'm staying with iOS 15.6.1 for now. Will wait until the issue with App Store updates are fixed with iOS 15.7.

I'm also getting this on my devices, but this is BEFORE updating either iOS 15.7 or iOS 16. It also still happens when updating my iPad Mini to 15.7.

It's certainly not client-side update related, but something weird is going on (apparently) server-side.

Update: We're all good now!

All my devices are able to run App updates/installs at this time.

Upgraded to 15.7. Now when I try to update my apps I have to agree to "Apple media service terms and conditions". Tap on agree and error message shows up

 

[twocents]

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

Yes, I opted for 15.7 then proceeded with iOS 16. I appreciate the option to hold off on the major upgrade for the next few months, but may as well optimize the stability ahead of jumping to the X.0 release. Only took an hour overall for both.

This issue just fixed automatically on my iPhone (iOS 16) and iPad (iPadOS 15.7) 2 min ago.

I want iOS 15.7. I prefer to do iPhone software updates with my Mac, but when I plug my iPhone into my Mac in order to update, the only available update my Mac shows is iOS 16.0. Is iOS 15.7 OTA only?

 

[Populus]

I have two questions:

1) Is the build number the same as the GM?

2) Is it possible to make a clean install of iOS 15.7, or at least update using Finder on a Mac?

Thank you.

 

[Populus]

Is the iOS 15.7 update OTA only? The reason I ask is because when I plug my iPhone into my Mac in order to update, the only thing my Mac shows as available is iOS 16.0.

Oh, damn, I think that answers our question.

 

[JosephAW]

Wow they’re doing it again, an update for iOS 15 and an update for iOS 16 on my iPhone 11 Pro Max.

I better install it before they change their mind.

 

[JosephAW]

I wonder if there’s gonna be some love again for iOS 12?

 

[IT Troll]

iPad owners should update to iOS 15.7

That would be tricky.

 

[Lucas Curious]

installed 15.7 on iPad mini 6 but now dont see option to install IpadOS 16
what can I do to fix?

 

[Booch21]

Anyone else have the Magic Keyboard get an “accessory not supported” error after installing 15.7 on the iPad M1 Pro?

Isn’t iPad 16 delayed until October?

 

[JosephAW]

Hopefully they fix some of the outstanding issues with iOS 15 before they abandon it.

 

[Codeseven]

Installed 15.7 on my 2018 iPad Pro. Does that mean there is no iPadOS 16 For this model?

iPadOS 16 is delayed until October.

This is a very poorly worded article. 15.7 is the only version any website should be recommending users install, even for the latest devices. Telling people to run out and install 16 is irresponsible. Shame.
