<\/p>\nUpdated Sept. 20 with more details of the update and when we can expect the next update to land.<\/p>\n
Apple\u2019s latest iPhone software, iOS 26, is live now. It\u2019s just days old but there\u2019s already an update. A new version has appeared for two iPhones, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. It looks like all those buying any of the latest iPhones will need to update pronto. And now it seems that another iOS update is almost upon us already. Here\u2019s all you need to know and when the next update could arrive (hint: soon). <\/p>\n

This was actually the second iOS 26 update this week, but until now both have only been seen by review units of the iPhone. That changes now that the iPhones are on general sale. <\/p>\n
ForbesApple Releases iOS 18.7: Urgent iPhone Update For Users Who Don\u2019t Want iOS 26By David Phelan<\/a><\/p>\n On Monday, Sept. 15, iOS 26 went on general release. On Tuesday, Sept. 18, Series 17 iPhones were offered an update to take them to version 23A341, which is the same as the general release build. <\/p>\n On Thursday, Sept. 18, a new update arrived, but only for the two Series 17 Pro models. That\u2019s build 23A345, according to a report in MacRumors<\/a>.<\/p>\n So, what does this mean? <\/p>\n It means that all new iPhones in the fall 2025 generation will need a day one update when their new owners set them up. For the iPhone Air and iPhone 17, this turns out to be for the general release build, 23A341 and 23A345 for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. <\/p>\n The new update is not huge, less than 800MB, so it looks like this is a tweak rather than a big change. But that\u2019s only if you have installed the Tuesday update. For iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max buyers, the two will be combined into one download, which could be as much as 2.2GB, GSM Arena<\/a> reports. This could slow down the set-up process, but it\u2019s unavoidable.<\/p>\n Some of the early reviews of the iPhone Air reported a camera issue where glitches could appear if an LED light display was shining right at the camera, in \u201cvery rare cases\u201d as Apple described it. The issue was found to be on the iPhone 17 Pro as well as the iPhone Air.<\/p>\n However, since the new update has not appeared for the iPhone Air, it\u2019s unlikely the update is fixing that. Apple has said a fix is in the pipeline.<\/p>\n Additionally, Apple would have specified if there was an effect on the camera performance, and it hasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n Exactly what is in the update, then, isn\u2019t known, but it\u2019s clear Apple wants to get ahead of something by releasing it in time for the first iPhones going on sale \u2014 it was timed to land even before the first iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max handsets went on sale in places like New Zealand and Australia. <\/p>\n So, what\u2019s next? Well, if you\u2019ve just bought a new iPhone you\u2019ve probably done enough updating and installing for now. But brace yourself, it looks like iOS 26.0.1 is in the ether already and will land soon. <\/p>\n
