iOS: the truth about automatic updates
User Mateusz Buda asked Craig Federighi in an email about this trend. In the email, Buda explained that he had turned on automatic updates, yet two weeks after the public release of iOS 15.4 had not yet received an update notification. “What conditions must be met for this function to be activated?”
To his surprise Federighi he replied and was happy to explain: “We incrementally roll out new iOS updates by first making them available to those who explicitly search for them in Settings, then 1-4 weeks later (after receiving feedback on the update) we move on to implementation of devices with automatic updating enabled “.
