Apple Seeds iOS 17.6 and iPadOS 17.6 Release Candidates to Developers

by

Apple today seeded iOS 17.6 and iPadOS 17.6 release candidates to developers for testing purposes, with software coming a week after the fourth iOS and iPadOS 17.6 betas were released. The RC versions are the final versions of iOS 17.6 and iPadOS 17.6 that will see a public launch in the near future.

iOS 17
Registered developers are able to opt into the betas by opening up the Settings app, going to the Software Update section, tapping on the "Beta Updates" option, and toggling on the iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 Developer Beta. An Apple ID associated with a developer account is required to download and install the beta.

The features Apple promised for iOS 17 have all been implemented, so it is not clear what will be included in iOS 17.6, and no major new additions were discovered in the betas. Apple's release notes suggest that the update provides unspecified bug fixes and security updates.

This update provides important bug fixes and security updates and is recommended for all users.

iOS 17.6 will likely see a launch next week.

I am actually more excited about installing this than iOS 18. Stable software is underrated.

So hopefully this corrects the horrendous s-s-s-s-stuttering issues that last beta had.
“Hi Jamie,

As a result of your feedback, there are software changes in the latest update, build 21G79, that have resolved this issue.

Has this issue been resolved after installing the latest update?”

Got a reply from Apple after reporting these stutters…

Audio stuttering?
I believe they are referring to the issues people are reporting with the interface stuttering or dropped frame rates.
