Apple has released a new update, iOS 17.6.1, for iPhone users. While this update doesn’t bring any new features, it focuses on enhancing the security of iCloud, the company’s cloud storage service.
How to Update:
- Open your iPhone settings.

This is likely Apple’s last update

Why was this update released?
