iOS 15.6 Update Over LTE

Is the iOS software update available over LTE now for good? I have been able to do this for the past 4 software updates now. I was advised previously that it shouldn’t work but it is right now I’ve screenshot it and have reported it to the carrier the last time it has occurred.

iPhone 12, iOS 15

I’ve been informed that it can ONLY do this over 5G and my network is not. I was inquiring if this has changed seeing as the past updates I was able to do on LTE and not 5G

Nothing has changed concerning LTE—the addition of cellular for updates has been a god-send.


LTE works

5G works


I update for iPhone and macOS with a 5G capable phone 12 mini— I have no 5G, LTE only...


I am 100% cellular for all my Internet/updates/upgrades



I am sorry but I do not see an issue. Just because you references a similar post does not mean it is accurate information if that is your confusion


  • With iPhone 12, Apple brought the ability to download software updates over 5G
  • iOS 15.4 enables more people to download iOS updates over 4G LTE networks
  • By default, your iPhone is set to restrict software updates to Wi-Fi




since iOS 15.4—

iOS 15.4 lets more people download iOS software updates via 4G LTE cellular data
