14 DAY TRIAL // Apple today released two new maintenance releases of its acclaimed iOS and Mac OS X operating systems, the iOS 9.2.1 update for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices, and OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 for supported Macs, fixing various security issues.
After only two Beta builds, the iOS 9.2.1 and Mac OS X 10.11.3 security updates were pushed a couple of hours ago to users worldwide and you should receive a notification to update your device in the coming hours.
Don't expect to see any visual change, as these maintenance builds are here only to fix a few security issues that Apple discovered since the release of the iOS 9.2 and Mac OS X 10.11.2 updates last year.
For iOS 9.2.1, Apple noted the fact that it contains security updates and bug fixes, including a patch for an issue that could prevent the completion of app installation if a mobile device management (MDM) sever was to be used.
On the other hand, the Mac OS X 10.11.3 El Capitan update contains bug fixes and security updates, and promises to improve the compatibility, stability and security of your Mac computers.
Users are urged to update as soon as possible
Again, if you're running the Mac OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan and/or iOS 9.2 operating systems on your devices, you should see the update notifications for iOS 9.2.1 and OS X 10.11.3 in the coming hours. If not, you can always check manually for an update.
On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch device, open the Settings app, go to the General section, then access Software Updates and you should be able to update to iOS 9.2.1. On Macs, open the Mac App Store app, go to the Updates tab and apply the update.
All users are urged to update as soon as possible. In the meantime, Public Beta testers can try the first Beta releases of the upcoming iOS 9.3 and Mac OS X 10.11.4 El Capitan operating systems.
