A sneak peek of the iPhone 14 Pro and new updates for virtually all Apple devices. This is the most important Apple and iPhone news of the week in one overview.
Apple releases updates for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac
Update! Last week, Apple released software updates for almost all of its devices. Unfortunately, iOS 15.5 and iPadOS 15.5 don’t add any new features, but they do update the security of your iPhone and iPad.
That kite also applies to watchOS 8.6. The Apple Watch update only includes security patches. macOS Monterey 12.4 completes the list, because this new version is also purely for security. That said, it is of course smart to download the new updates as soon as possible.
