Apple releases iOS 12.5.3 for older iPhones and iPads

iOS 14 has been in the highlight this year and recently Apple released iOS 14 updates back-to-back. But there are many iPhones and iPads that don’t support iOS 13 or above updates. And so along with iOS 14.5.1, Apple also released iOS 12.5.3 for older iPhones and iPads. Of Course, it’s not a big update like iOS 14.5 but still adds value to older iPhones.

The last iOS 12.5.2 update was released in the last week of March. And now after a month later, older iPhones get another small incremental update. Although the majority of iPhones and iPads are new and support iOS 14, Apple doesn’t forget about older iPhones and iPads. Yes, they don’t introduce new features but security patches are important updates too.

Along with iOS 12.5.3, this week Apple also released iOS 14.5.1, iPadOS 14.5.1, watchOS 7.4.1, and macOS 11.3.1. The iOS 12.5.3 is available to everyone with the build number 16H41. Since it’s an incremental update just for bug fixes, the update will weigh less than other updates. And the update fixes some critical security issues.
