Apple has released a plethora of new updates for old versions of its operating systems. The new releases include:
- iOS 16.7.9
- iPadOS 16.7.9
- iOS 15.8.3
- iPadOS 15.8.3
- macOS Ventura 13.6.8
- macOS Monterey 12.7.6
As Apple is focused on getting the upcoming batch of its OSes (iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15 Sequoia) ready, and improving the current-gen (iOS 17.6, iPadOS 17.6, macOS 14.6 Sonoma), it comes as no surprise that the updates for older devices bring no new features.
