this is how you install the updates
Apple has released brand new software updates tonight: iOS 15.6 and iPadOS 15.6 are now available for download. Unfortunately, there are no new functions, but we still recommend that you install the updates immediately. That’s how you do that.
Read on after the ad.
iOS 15.6 download now possible
Apple has just released new updates for the iPhone and iPad: you can download iOS 15.6 and iPadOS 15.6 from now on. In the United States it is possible with iOS 15.6 to pause or restart a live sports match in the TV app, but in the Netherlands these matches are not shown.
So unfortunately for us there are no new features in the software, but it does contain several bug fixes and improvements for stability. We therefore recommend that you install the latest version of iOS 15 on your smartphone and/or tablet as soon as possible. Follow the steps below for this:
- Make sure your iPhone battery is at least 50 percent full or hang it on the charger;
- Go to the Settings app and tap “General”;
- Choose ‘Software update’ in this menu and let your iPhone (or iPad) search for the latest update
- Found it? Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the update.
You may not see the updates immediately. Just after the release of new software, many people try to download it directly, resulting in digital queues. Then you will unfortunately have to wait. Try again in an hour and it will probably work.
In the meantime, you can back up your iPhone. Nine times out of ten downloading iOS 15.6 will go without a hitch, but you never know. If something does go wrong, at least you won’t lose any important data.
All balls on iOS 16
The last really big update for the iPhone was iOS 15.4. That added, among other things, the option to use Face ID with a mouth cap. Both iOS 15.5 and 15.6 are mainly intended to improve stability and prevent hackers from entering your iPhone.
iOS 15.6 was most likely the last major update of iOS 15. From now on, Apple is shifting its focus to iOS 16. A public beta of this major update is now available. It may still contain bugs and other nasty issues, so we wouldn’t install it on a device you use every day. The stable version will be released sometime in the fall.
iOS 16 is packed with new features, mostly found on the Lock screen. You can personalize it completely. For example, it is possible to change the colors of the clock and the whole has a lot more depth. The fonts are also customizable. You can also add widgets, such as a calendar.
