Apple has released today minor updates for all of its software platforms. iOS and iPadOS 16.3.1 are now available for iPhone and iPad users, while macOS Ventura 13.2.1 has started rolling out for Mac users. Updates for tvOS 16, watchOS 9, and the HomePod software are also available today.
For iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro users, iOS 16.3.1 includes optimizations for Crash Detection. This new feature can automatically contact emergency services when sensors in the latest iPhones detect a car crash, and today’s update should make it more reliable.
