Apple has reportedly decided to cancel its planned iOS 17.5.2 update, which was expected to carry the build number 21F101. Initially anticipated for imminent release, the update was intended to focus primarily on bug fixes and enhancements to system performance rather than introducing new features.
The decision to scrap the update follows its announcement on social media by a credible private account known for reliably leaking information about Apple’s upcoming software releases.
Earlier in May, Apple rolled out iOS 17.5, which introduced several new features such as Web Distribution compliance in the EU and updates to the Apple News app. Shortly thereafter, iOS 17.5.1 was released to address an issue where deleted photos were reappearing in the Photos app due to database errors.
Currently, Apple is engaged in beta testing for iOS 17.6 alongside preparations for the highly anticipated iOS 18, slated for release in September. Despite the cancellation of iOS 17.5.2, the company is expected to proceed with the rollout of iOS 17.6 in the coming weeks, maintaining its regular schedule of software updates aimed at improving user experience and addressing technical issues within its ecosystem.
