iOS 18.2.1 Released for iPhone & iPad with Bug Fixes
Apple has released iOS 18.2.1 for iPhone users, and iPadOS 18.2.1 for iPad users. The new software updates are said to include important bug fixes, and are therefore recommended for all users to install.

At the moment, this is the only new software update available for Apple devices, but it’s possible bug fix updates will arrive for other devices later.
