Apple has surprisingly launched iOS 26.2.1, bringing a comprehensive suite of latest features and essential support for its recently released AirTag.
Previously, the Cupertino-based tech giant was predicted to launch iOS 26.3, but the company has surprised users with an intriguing update.
Unlike minor software launches, the significant update brings a range of enhancements alongside bug fixes.
iPhones compatibility
The recently introduced iOS 26.2.1 update is currently accessible for iPhones launches from 2019 onward, including the iPhone 11 series, second- and third-generation iPhone SE models, and Apple's flagship iPhone 17 series.
How to access iOS 26.2.1?
To access the latest iOS 26.2.1, users are required to install it by launching Settings > General > Software Update.
Alongside the launch of iOS 26.2.1, Apple has also introduced the next-gen AirTag, which is particularly for users to keep a track of and browse the items that matter most with Apple’s Find My app, now available with an expanded finding range and a louder speaker.
It is important to note the AirTag features require users to install iOS 26.2.1. While, some of the new AirTag’s features need Apple Watch Series 9 or later or Apple Watch Ultra 2 or later to connect directly to the watch.
