Apple was about to release the iOS 17.5.2 update for the iPhone if a recent report was correct. But now it doesn't seem like that. Here's what we know about the mysterious software update.
Apple's iOS 17.5.2 was a surprise. According to 9to5Mac, a private social media account with a good track record of correctly predicting these things claimed that an update is coming and that it will be here soon. A good record of sharing on. The account has previously shared details about upcoming iOS software updates on several different occasions.
What could this mysterious update be? After all, it won't be long until iOS 18 arrives, and Apple is currently beta testing iOS 17.6. So this temporary entry is supposed to be a bugfix and security release? This is what is expected and indicates that there are some pressing issues that cannot wait for iOS 17.6, which is expected to be released in the next few weeks (late July or early August) . Now, however, the same source claims that "Apple has canceled the planned iOS 17.5.2 update."
Interestingly, updates are often not released in time for anyone outside of Apple to know about them. In this case it is. So was the leaker wrong despite their track record? Or has the problem it was supposed to solve been fixed in some other way, perhaps with a server-side solution? It's also possible that the fix isn't working as expected and needs more work before it's released, possibly with the release of iOS 17.6.
There's another possibility: Apple's update could be considered a pure security fix, so it's better suited for a quick security response than a full update. Apple launched RSR last year when it needed to quickly resolve security issues. But it's been a while since it released one of those, especially since one of them misfired and suddenly had to be removed and replaced. In short, we find out if the update is coming, but it seems that there is no need to monitor your update settings that do not appear to be imminent.
