On the eve of its big iPhone launch event<\/a>, Apple has just released a new iOS 26.6.2 software update for iPhone. Here\u2019s what\u2019s new.<\/p>\n

iOS 26.6.2 fixes issue that prevented updating software over cellular<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apple is expected to launch iOS 27 very soon, likely next week<\/a>. <\/p>\n

But ahead of that major release, today the company has a smaller iOS 26.6.2 update available.<\/p>\n

You can install iOS 26.6.2 on your iPhone from the Software Update screen inside Settings.<\/p>\n

Here are Apple\u2019s official release notes:<\/p>\n

This update fixes an issue that prevents downloading a software update over a cellular connection.<\/p>\n

The timing of releasing iOS 26.6.2 so close to iOS 27\u2019s anticipated release makes sense considering the bug fix it introduces.<\/p>\n

If iOS 26.6.1 didn\u2019t let users install iOS 27 over a cellular connection, that could be a big headache for Apple and its users next week.<\/p>\n

But by releasing this update now, many iPhones will hopefully have the needed fix in advance of trying to install the much more exciting iOS 27 update.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s not a particularly noteworthy release, but it\u2019s a timely one ahead of iOS 27 and its many new features<\/a> debuting soon.<\/p>\n

Alongside iOS 26.6.2, Apple has released iPadOS 26.6.2 for iPad with the exact same bug fix.<\/p>\n

Have you installed iOS 26.6.2? Notice any other changes? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n
