On Thursday, Apple released the first software updates for its devices since the rollout of iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia last month.
Those who have been following know that several key features that didn't make it into the initial release of iOS 18 are expected in iOS 18.1, but that's not the update we got on Thursday.
Instead, Apple released a series of smaller updates that fixed several bugs but added no new features. The updates are called iOS 18.0.1, iPadOS 18.0.1, visionOS 2.0.1, macOS Sequoia 15.0.1 and watchOS 11.0.1.
The two most important fixes are undoubtedly found in iPadOS 18.0.1 and iOS 18.0.1. The iPad update fixes an issue that broke a small number of recently released iPads (with Apple's M4 chip). That issue caused Apple to quickly release iPadOS 18 for those devices, so Thursday's release of iPadOS 18.0.1 is actually the first time most users of those devices will be able to use iPadOS 18.
On the iPhone side, Apple says it has fixed a bug that could sometimes prevent the touchscreen from registering users' fingers.
