After recently releasing major updates in the form of iOS 17.6 and iPadOS 17.6, Apple is now following up with a small maintenance update for all compatible iPhones and iPads. After recently announcing the launch of iOS 17.6.1 and iPadOS 17.6.1, Apple has now officially released the two new versions for download.
iOS 17.6.1 and iPadOS 17.6.1 do not include any new functions, which would be surprising given the version number. Instead, Apple is focusing on bug fixes. The manufacturer does not provide any specific information, but writes in its release notes: "This update includes important bug fixes and addresses an issue that prevents enabling or disabling Advanced Data Protection". The bugfix update is therefore primarily dedicated to this problem.
A new version of Apple's macOS Sonoma has also just been made available for download. This is also a small update for bug fixes and certain issues, which also revolve around the enabling or disabling of 'Advanced Data Protection'.

I have been fascinated by technology for around 25 years – especially technology that makes life easier rather than more complicated. Mobile devices such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches are particularly close to my heart as is the booming subject of smart homes. I have been working in these areas for several years now as a news and reviews editor. I have been active with various websites, including the smart home blogs homee, Nuki, and siio, as well as tech portals such as Giga and TechRadar. I have been writing news and laptop reviews for Notebookcheck since 2020.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
