But how different is this new version of iOS from its previous version, the iOS 18.2, which was released just a month back? Is it worth updating? You will get these answers by the end of this blog, and then you can decide for yourself. But before that, let’s figure out a few more basic questions related to this.
Who can update to iOS 18.2.1?
The Apple iOS 18.2.1 update can be installed on iPhone XS and later models. This also includes iPhone SE 2nd Generation models and iPhone SE 3rd Generation models. Basically, if your iPhone is compatible with iOS 18, it can update to iOS 18.2.1. However as per ground reports, in some models, the update was released after a few days of its initial launch.
How to update to iOS 18.2.1?
To install this latest iOS software, you have to open the Settings app on your iPhone and go to General, and tap on Software Update. If the update is available on your iPhone, you will see the Update Now icon. Tap on it and your iPhone will start installing iOS 18.2.1. Alternatively, you can select the Update Tonight option which will enable installation when the device is locked and there is enough charge. One thing to note here is, that this is a smaller update in comparison to previous versions of iOS 18, with a size of just 335.5 MB.
