iOS 174 has been out for less than two weeks, but an updated version may be coming soon iOS 1741 (as well as iPadOS 1741 for tablet owners) could be released in the next few days, according to MacRumors

While iOS 174 introduced a number of new features, including the ability for EU-based iPhone users to side-load apps from other app stores, iOS 1741 is expected to primarily address bugs and potential security threats This is fairly typical of point releases in software

The report does not specify what bug fixes to expect when iOS 1741 becomes available

Once Apple releases iOS 1741, it will be available by launching the Settings app, selecting General, and tapping Software Update iOS 1741 update, if available, can be downloaded to the iPhone by following the on-screen instructions The software update is security-focused Software updates are security-focused, so it is best to install them on your iPhone as soon as possible

A typical release of a software update is usually accompanied by a beta version of the next version And in fact, the same MacRumors report states that a beta version of iOS 175 will also be available this week Developers will get the beta first, and a public beta will be released shortly thereafter as with iOS 1741, there are few details about what changes iOS 175 will include

iOS 174 had relatively few new features for users, but there were some interesting additions For example, users of the Podcasts app can now have transcripts of new episodes, and older episodes gradually have the same functionality The update also brought a new selection of emoji, better game streaming app support, and allowed users to generate virtual card numbers when shopping online

The centerpiece of iOS 174 was the introduction of changes mandated by the Digital Markets Act (DMA) of the European Court The update allowed users to download apps from a website instead of the App Store, but Apple added several caveats that severely restricted third-party developers

We will keep an eye on Apple's upcoming software updates (both iOS 1741 and iOS 175 beta) and update this article with any notable changes
