Apple Releases iPadOS and iOS 15.7.1 With Important Security FixesApple today released iOS 15.7.1 and iPadOS 15.7.1, operating system updates that are designed for older iPhones and iPads unable to run
iOS 16 and
iPadOS 16. The updates are also available to those who have chosen not to update to ‌iOS 16‌ at this time.
The iOS and iPadOS 15.7.1 updates can be downloaded on eligible iPhones and iPads over-the-air by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
iOS 15.7.1's launch was delayed because during the beta testing period, it was found that the update was
breaking Face ID for some people. Apple has presumably fixed the
Face ID issue before releasing the new software.
According to Apple's release notes, the update includes important security fixes and is recommended for all users. iOS 15.7.1 addresses a
long list of vulnerabilities, including a kernel vulnerability that Apple says may have been actively exploited, so all users should update as soon as possible. ‌iOS 16‌ users received these fixes in the iOS 16.1 update.
