iOS 17.6 is about to be released with few changes, focusing on bug fixes

As the time for Apple to release new phones is getting closer, preparations for iOS 18 are also in full swing.Therefore, some recent updates to iOS 17 are relatively small and have no new features. They mainly fix some bugs and wait for the arrival of iOS 18.Recently, news broke that Apple will push iOS 17.6 in the near future, canceling the previous update of iOS 17.5.2 to promote the update speed of iOS.

Apple is preparing to release iOS 17.6 in the near future, with the version number 21G79.According to news on social media, iOS 17.6 has fewer feature updates throughout the testing phase, so this version is expected to focus mainly on fixing bugs and improving performance.

The account from this source has shared details about iOS updates in advance many times in the past, and most of them are accurate.The news comes just after the account claimed that the iOS 17.5.2 version was "cancelled", seemingly to make way for the upcoming iOS 17.6.

Apple began testing iOS 17.6 shortly after the first developer beta of iOS 18 was released.The only new feature known so far is the new "Catch Up" feature for MLS Season Pass users in the Apple TV app.This feature allows users to catch up on the action through a series of highlights if they miss the start of the game.

As the release of iOS 18 approaches, updates to the iOS 17 series will remain lightweight.According to previous reports, iOS 18 will be available to iPhone XS/XR and later users this fall, and will bring a series of new features, including free placement of app icons on the home screen, new dark and dyed app icon options,Apple Intelligence for compatible devices and more.

It is estimated that the updates to iOS 17 will not be important in the recent period.After all, it has been less than two months since the release of the iPhone 16 series, which means that iOS 18 will be released to everyone. It is mainly just some minor repairs and will not have much impact.
