A minor update, but equally important

Updates are available for download on our iPhone and iPad, as always, in Settings > General > Software Update. In addition, for those users who have not yet updated their devices to iOS 17, Apple has also released a security update in the form of iOS 16.7.7. According to the release notes, these updates focus on implementing “important security updates and bug fixes”.

As reported by MacRumors, in iPadOS 17.4.1, a bug that affected certain models of iPad and could prevent the Camera app from scanning QR codes has been fixed. The affected models include the 6th and 7th generation iPad, the 10.5-inch iPad Pro, and the second generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
