Though it would be nice if they were offered to all devices running 15, not just the ones that aren't allowed to update to 16.

Consider that they didn't have to do the testing on all those devices, and that may be the difference between getting updates for old stuff or not.

Unfortunately, you can only install updates to 15.7.x to older devices that can't be upgraded to iOS 16. They removed all the newer devices from support for iOS 15.7.x. I'm running 15.7.2 on my iPhone SE 3 and can't upgrade to anything less than 16.6.1.

I'm taking my chances for now on 15.7.2 and trusting that I won't go to a site that pwns my iPhone. 16.x is a hot mess of garbage from what I'm hearing and so I'm avoiding it.

im risking it for the biscuit on my 8+ on 15.7.2. I have images disabled on mail and i barely use it to browse the web except for business websites. Have to decide what to do with my ipad though

Or get the full installers automatically built for you by running the following Terminal commands without the quotes:

Big Sur: "softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 11.7.10"

Monterey: "softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 12.6.9"

Thank you :)

But Ventura 13.6 is still in Schrodinger's Release Candidate box.

After that report on macrumors , the 13.6 that I put into my Ventura beta VM was a Beta 2, not an RC. And over at mrmacintosh dot com, Beta 2 is how it is listed.

I know that people who have iPhones that can run iOS 15 but cannot run iOS 16, can update to iOS 15.7.9 if they want. However, I'm curious: for people who have iPhones that can run iOS 16 but are still running an older version of iOS 15, can they update to iOS 15.7.9?

No, only iOS 16 can be selected.

Nope. After 15.7.2, they removed support for all new devices and only support devices that can't run iOS 16.

Edit: Doh! Didn't see that this has already been answered.

It's allowed since iOS 14. It actually shows the option to update your 15 first and "Update to iOS 16" is on the bottom as "Also available".

Unfortunately not. I have the last iPad Air that had the Lightning port. It's used almost exclusively for watching tv content purchased on iTunes. The TV app on 16 is substantially worse, so I never installed it on that iPad.

It's on 15.7.2 because I didn't get 15.7.3 installed in time before they cut off all 15.x updates to that iPad. I am now offered only 16.6.1.

Aside from being in french, this update screen looks odd on my iPad Air 2, no description, plus it says iOS instead of iPadOS.
Anyone seen stuff like this?
 
  • Wow

I missed 15.7.3 on my iPhone SE 3 and iPad Pro (M1) and am stuck on 15.7.2 as well. Really disappointed with Apple for originally offering to let us stay with 15.7.x but then yanking the carpet.

Gotta get those Watch Now tab ad impressions.

I'm thinking of just taking 16 anyway as the full-screen takeover ads for MLS, Apple TV+, etc still come through.

Got this same ad on all my devices including that one just a couple weeks ago. At least the one on 15 doesn’t have that enormous ad banner taking up 2/3 of the screen:

Not sure about that. We should get a new build of 12.7 tomorrow after the Apple Event alongside all the other updates, all of which should patch this exploit if the current builds don't already.

Yeap, there's a newer build of 12.7 as I checked this morning.

I stopped using my 11 Pro Max in Jan 2022 so it was on iOS 15.x.

Is it possible to upgrade it from iOS 15.x to iOS 15.7.9?

Still no, the only update to 15 they made available for that model post 16 was 15.7.1. They haven't built an update image of 15.7.9 for phones that can run 16.
