OS updates released yesterday

[MacInWin]

iOS 15.4.1, iPadOS 15.4.1, macOS 12.3.1, WatchOS 8.5.1, tvOS 15.4.1 and HomePod 15.4.1, all came out yesterday. I've installed iOS, iPadOS, macOS and WatchOS with no issues. Fixes battery issues on iPhone, some BT connectivity on Mac Minis and two fairly important security fixes with exploits in the wild.

Make backups first.

None of these updates have popped up for me so far. Maybe they are making up for the last updates which seems to have appeared to me a little earlier than for some folks.

what can I say, Sly? You seem to be "special" to Apple...

Are you still registered in the beta program? Some folks have complained about not getting regular updates when still registered for the betas.

BTW, those updates for Monterey and iOS appeared immediately for me.

 

[Slydude]

Yes, I'm still in the beta program. My Mac and phone are in the program but I don't think I have added the recently acquired, second-hand iPad. This isn't the first time there has been a delay of a day or so. I think they appeared a day or so earlier last time.

Same here Sly - all updated except my 2013 MBPro which remains on Catalina - might just look into a new M-series laptop later this year? Dave

If you do decide on a new machine, let me know how you get the idea past SWMBO. I need to get a new machine soon.

Well, women can be hard to convince - About 6+ years ago, I wanted to do a one week Civil War tour that would take us into Petersburg, VA, Bull Run, Gettysburg and a few other places - she was completely uninterested, so I had to come up w/ some incentives (which for her include such things as a luxury hotel, great meals, and maybe jewelry - YES, I know not cheap!) - well in Tysons Corner we stayed at a Ritz Carlton (been there before at some medical meetings) w/ a Legal Seafoods in an adjacent indoor mall - ate there twice w/ Pacific coast oysters; then on the way home a stay at the Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, VA (before Monument Avenue was disassembled); of course, great food - despite having to go to all of the Civil War places, she had a great time! Below some pics of the Jefferson lobby and us at the Sunday Champagne Brunch - if interested, a LINK to my iPad Forums travelogue - of course, those hotels and meals would have allowed me to get a couple of laptops - Dave

Looks like you had a wonderful time. Unfortunately, that level of persuasion is well beyond my budget. Unless of course, you would like to adopt me for a bit.

Mine too SD!

I'm on 12.2.1 at the moment and just got the update notice. Is it worth moving up or better at the moment to stay put?

 

[IWT]

John, the update to 12.3.1 has been available for some considerable time. I guess most of us have the latest version by now. It's time you did because the update "solved" a few problems, but also contained vital security fixes.

Ian

 

[Jonzjob]

Thank you Ian and it will be 'no sooner done than said'. Or something like that ?

After a TM backup of course

 

[Jonzjob]

Now running on 12.3.1. Thank you yet again folks.
