Apple Releases iOS 26.6.2

Apple today released iOS 26.6.2 with a fix for "an issue that prevents downloading a software update over a cellular connection."

iOS 26 6 2
The minor software update is rolling out now for the iPhone 11 series and newer. To update your iPhone, open the Settings app and tap on General → Software Update. It might take a few minutes for the update to be visible to everyone.

iOS 26.6.2 arrives approximately three weeks after iOS 26.6.1, which delivered security fixes.

Apple is expected to release iOS 27 later this month, with the company likely to announce a release date during its event this Wednesday.

iPadOS 26.6.2 is also out with the same fix.

Aren't they releasing IOS 27 next week? This update seems like a waste of time, doesn't it?
I know this might be a shock, but not everyone instantly updates to the latest full iOS version.

This regression has been recurring in several beta cycles maybe in the past two years or so… they now decided to fix it. Doesn’t mean won’t be back as a regression soon again…

It probably fixes an issue so iOS 26.7 and/or iOS 27 can be downloaded over cellular next week.
