Apple had released the iOS 13.5 and iPadOS 13.5 update for iPhones and iPads two weeks ago, bringing the COVID-19 contact tracing technology and other improvements. Now, the company has released the iOS 13.5.1 and iPadOS 13.5.1 software update for all iPhones compatible with iOS 13. It’s a bug-fixing update, and it is available for download via the OTA system.
The Cupertino-based tech giant has released the final version of iOS 13.5.1 for iPhones and iPadOS 13.5.1. The new version of the operating system will likely fix the zero-day vulnerability in iPhones that allows jailbreaking them an easy affair. It can be downloaded on all iPhone and iPad models that are compatible with iOS 13 and iPadOS 13, respectively.
Usually, Apple releases multiple developer beta and public beta versions of iOS and iPadOS before releasing the final version to the general public. However, with iOS 13.5.1 and iPadOS 13.5.1, there were no developer beta or public beta version releases, which means that the company could have fixed an important bug.
