In addition to releasing the macOS 12.2.1 update to address the battery drain bug in Macs, Apple has released the latest iOS 15.3.1 and iPadOS 15.3.1 updates for its supported iPhones and iPads. The new versions don’t bring any major changes to the current iOS and iPadOS builds, which were released back in September 2021. That said, they do fix an ongoing bug, the Braille display issue for iPhone and iPad users, on top of bringing about the latest security fixes. Let’s check out more details about the iOS 15.3.1 and iPadOS 15.3.1 updates.
