Installing Missed IOS Updates on iPhone

Your iPhone XS can be updated to iOS 17.1.1. Go to Settings/General/Software Update and you should be prompted to install 17.1.1. Just tap to download and install.

To update over the air from the phone all of these requirements must be met:

• To update over the air from the phone all of these requirements must be met:
• You need at least 10 GB of free storage for iOS 16 and later or 6 GB for iOS 15 or lower; more is better
• You must be connected to a Wi-Fi network (and not a personal hotspot)
• The phone must be charged to at least 50%, and preferably plugged in so it stays above 50% during the update
• The phone must not be in Low Power Mode
• The phone must not be connected through VPN, and it may be necessary to delete any VPN apps and VPN profiles
• The phone cannot be in Airplane mode and must have a cellular data connection
• You cannot still have a beta of a previous version installed on the phone
• You cannot have a previous version that was downloaded, but not installed - go to Settings/General/iPhone Storage to look; if you find an iOS installer, delete it

If you can't meet all of them you can still update using your computer.

Here’s an example:

I update my iPhone to iOS 17

iOS 17.1 comes out

iOS 17.2 comes out

If update my iPhone to iOS 17.2, I will get everything from iOS 17.2 AND any versions in between the versions I’m on (including 17.1).

When you update to the most recent version (which is the only version you can update to) it includes everything that was in previous version.

It was still a good question!

You can't; the versions listed in the Software Update function include the patches from them.

Oh, nevermind, I misunderstood the question.
