Apple releases iOS 26.6.2 and iPadOS 26.6.2 to fix cellular update download issue

Macworld We expect Apple to release iOS 27 next week ahead of the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro, but before that happens, there’s one last update to iOS 26. The iOS 26.6.2 update (also iPadOS 26.6.2) fixes one minor but important bug. The release notes are as follows: This update fixes an issue that prevents downloading a software update over a cellular connection. It looks like that’s all there is in this update. There is no associated macOS release (it would be macOS 26.6.3), and the Apple security releases page lists no new fixes associated with this release. To update your iPhone, head over to Settings, then General and Software Update, and follow the prompts.

Apple today released iOS 26.6.2 with a fix for "an issue that prevents downloading a software update over a cellular connection." 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.Related Roundups: iOS 26, iPadOS 26Related Forum: iOS 26This article, "Apple Releases iOS 26.6.2" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
