Is it safe to skip an ios update on my iPhone? What about the security updates? Will they be carried over to the latest ios update?

Is it safe to skip an ios update on my iPhone? What about the security updates? Will they be carried over to the latest ios update? I presently have 14.5.1 on my iPhone. I never updated to 14.6 because of reported power/battery issues. Now ios 14.7 is out. Can I update directly to that or should I try to find 14.6? I'm really concerned about the security updates more than features.


BTW - With regard to ios security updates, do they get carried over to the latest update in case someone skips or misses an update?


Thanks for any info.


Regards,

You should always update to the latest version in order to receive the latest security updates. You can go directly to iOS 14.7.
