Apple has released iOS 26.5.1, a point release aimed at fixing a specific charging issue affecting users of the iPhone 17 and iPhone Air. This update comes shortly after the previous version, iOS 26.5, which was launched on May 11. The primary purpose of iOS 26.5.1 is to resolve a problem that may prevent wired charging when the battery is nearly drained, impacting a small number of users. The update is exclusively available for the iPhone 17 family and iPhone Air models, and the official release notes highlight this important fix. Users can manually install the update by navigating to the Settings app, selecting General, and then Software Update. Alternatively, they can wait for the automatic update if that feature is enabled. Looking ahead, Apple is beta-testing iOS 26.6, but future updates in the iOS 26 series are expected to focus mainly on bug fixes and performance improvements, as the company prepares for the anticipated launch of iOS 27 this fall, which will introduce new features.
