Apple is preparing to push out iOS 18.6.2, several specialist publications reported, citing a leaker with a strong record on software build numbers. The new build, identified as 22G100, could arrive as early as this week—just days after the company issued iOS 18.6.1. The late-cycle update is expected to deliver bug fixes and further refine the blood-oxygen measurement workaround that Apple re-enabled for U.S.-sold Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10 and Ultra 2 devices in iOS 18.6.1. That release restored a feature that had been unavailable for about 18 months following a patent dispute. Rapid iteration this close to the next major OS launch is unusual for Apple and suggests the company wants to stabilise health-related functions before it unveils the iPhone 17 line and iOS 26 in September.
