Apple first revealed iOS 16 and macOS Ventura during WWDC22. These updates come packed with new changes and features, especially in the iPhone department. For example, users now get to customize the iOS Lock Screen in advanced ways that weren't possible before. That's not to mention the Mail and Messages upgrades that include unsending content and more. While these major OS updates have been available for many weeks now, Apple has been working on fixing the bugs they've introduced and bringing some new features to the table. The company is already testing iOS 16.2 beta and macOS Ventura 13.1 — which should see the light of day in December. If you aren't beta-testing, though, then new bug-fixing OS updates are now available to you. Apple has just released iOS 16.1.1 and macOS Ventura 13.0.1 to the public.

Considering these are X.X.1 updates, they expectedly don't introduce any exciting features or changes. Instead, they focus on patching some of the bugs and security vulnerabilities discovered in previous versions. Nonetheless, we advise all users to update their devices sooner rather than later to take advantage of the latest fixes. Apple has highlighted the security patches included in these versions:
