Apple has released the update to iOS 15.6 for iPhones and iPads. As always, the question arises as to whether the new firmware should be installed immediately or whether it is better to wait.
iOS 15.6 or iPadOS 15.6 is now available for download. In the short description, Apple mentions improvements, bug fixes and security updates – so little concrete. The update to iOS 15.6 puts an end to some annoying bugs.
iOS 15.6 fixes disk space and Safari bugs
In some cases, iPhone and iPad users got the error message that the storage space on their device is almost full. Even if there was actually still enough capacity. With the update to iOS 15.6, Apple fixes this bug so that the wrong warning no longer pops up.
Also fixed an issue with Safari. In some cases, Apple’s in-house browser simply opened a new tab with a previously visited Internet address instead of opening a new website. The browser history seemed to have been searched indiscriminately. Additionally, Braille devices no longer slow down when navigating through text in emails. Sometimes they even didn’t rule at all due to the bug in the mail program.
Overall, the update to iOS 15.6 contains some bug fixes. Downloading the software is therefore only recommended. On the iPhone and iPad, users can find the update in the settings under “General” and “Software update”. The download file is around 410 MB in size depending on the iPhone model. A backup of the data is recommended before installation.

Apple is introducing iOS 16 along with the new iPhone 14 models. September 13 is currently being traded as a possible date for the keynote.
