Apple has launched a series of software updates across its device ecosystem, demonstrating its commitment to user security. The tech giant has rolled out these updates just three weeks after their previous versions.
The macOS Sequoia 15.1.1 brings important security patches to Mac computers. You can install this update through the Software Update section in System Settings. The update process requires a restart of your Mac to complete the installation.
For iPhone users, iOS 18.1.1 has arrived with crucial security enhancements. If you’re still running iOS 17, Apple has also released iOS 17.7.2 to ensure your device remains protected. iPad users can now download iPadOS 18.1.1, which mirrors the security improvements of its iPhone counterpart.
Vision Pro users haven’t been left out, as Apple has introduced visionOS 2.1.1. To install this update, you’ll need to remove your Vision Pro headset temporarily. The installation progress appears on the front EyeSight display, making it easy to track the update status.
While these updates don’t introduce new features, they patch several actively exploited security issues. The timing of these releases suggests they might be the last updates before the anticipated December launch of iOS 18.2, which promises to bring new Apple Intelligence features and other improvements.
You can download these updates through the Software Update section in Settings on your respective devices. Given the security-focused nature of these releases, you should install them promptly to keep your devices protected against potential threats.
