Apple Set to Release iOS 17.6 with Bug Fixes and Improvements
Apple is gearing up for the launch of iOS 17.6, which will carry the build number 21G79. The upcoming release has been relatively light on features during the beta testing phase, indicating that it will likely focus on addressing bugs and enhancing performance.
A reliable source on social media recently revealed this information, adding to their track record of accurately leaking details about iOS software updates. The announcement follows reports that iOS 17.5.2 was canceled to make way for the imminent release of iOS 17.6.
The beta testing phase of iOS 17.6 commenced shortly after the introduction of the first developer beta of iOS 18. While details about iOS 17.6 are scarce, it is known that the update will introduce a new ‘Catch Up’ feature in the Apple TV app for MLS Season Pass subscribers. This feature allows users to watch game highlights if they join a match late.
With the launch of iOS 18 on the horizon, incremental updates like iOS 17.6 are expected to focus on minor enhancements. iOS 18, scheduled for release later this year, will bring a host of new features including customizable app icons, dark mode options, Apple Intelligence integration, and more.
