The shaken baby syndrome emoji is going to get people in trouble 😳

 

[IslesFan]

Did they not release an updated iPad OS (16.4 RC vs final)?

 

[Banglazed]

IPSW up now

 

[max2]

Did they not release an updated iPad OS (16.4 RC vs final)?

Yes

 

[Pearsey]

IPSW is now out!
On the Apple Developer page 👨🏽‍💻 📲

 

[Sal09]

ISPW

This is the way.

 

[cigz]

Is there a way to update on a Mac with IPSW without doing a backup?

 

[IslesFan]

Yes

Yes as they did release an updated build or yes they did not?

 

[Pearsey]

ISPW

This is the way.

Looks like you've taken your helmet off though 😬

 

[Pearsey]

Is there a way to update on a Mac with IPSW without doing a backup?

This is what im doing for a full install. Takes you to download the full file through app store.

‎macOS Ventura makes the things you do most on Mac even better, with big updates to the apps you use everyday including Mail, Messages, and Safari. You can use your iPhone as a webcam for your Mac with Continuity Camera. There's also an entirely new way to automatically organize your windows...

Did they not release an updated iPad OS (16.4 RC vs final)?

No, iPadOS 16.4 (20E246) is the same as RC. OTA all the way!

 

[Maloney~888]

No, iPadOS 16.4 (20E246) is the same as RC.

Thanks, that explains why no update for me!

 

[H3LL5P4WN]

The build number is 1 higher than the RC.

So that means all the show stopping bugs of betas 2, 3, 4, and the RC are still in it.
