Apple releases iOS 26.6.2 to fix cellular update bug
Apple has released iOS 26.6.2 and iPadOS 26.6.2 to address a specific software bug. The update, identified by build 23G90, resolves an issue that could prevent users from downloading software updates while using a cellular data connection.
The fix is targeted specifically at the mechanism used to download updates via mobile networks; it does not affect general 4G or 5G connectivity, phone calls, or standard web browsing. This maintenance release arrives as Apple prepares for the upcoming launch of iOS 27, ensuring that users on current versions can successfully transition to the next major operating system via cellular networks without being blocked by download errors.
