Why my iPhone is asking me to update when I am on latest version ?

I am using an iPhone 7 with iOS 12.1.2 (latest version). However, when I connect my iPhone to my Mac for charging, iTunes asks for updating the iPhone. See the attached screenshot?


Question is Why my iPhone is asking me to update when I am already on the latest version ?

There is a secondary 12.1.2 update available only through iTunes. Its a minor build difference but still technically an update to the original 12.1.2 update.


  1. iOS 12.1.2 (16C101) (original)
  2. iOS 12.1.2 (16C104) (new itunes only)


You can choose to update or ignore it if you want.
