Why does iTunes say my iPhone 6s needs to be updated to iOS 9.2.1

You are most welcome 🙂

Best of luck,

Hi Gail,

I wonder if you could take a look at this link and provide your thoughts?

Totally unhelpful reply.

You finally got around to pointing out that a post made 9 months ago about a version that is several versions behind the current one is unhelpful today? What would you consider a "helpful" reply to be?

I have the issue now with iOS 10.1.1. My iPhone 6 claims to be up-to-date on 10.1.1, but when plugged into iTunes, iTunes tells me there is a newer version 10.1.1.

Is this also due to slipstream update? Or is it some other problem that I'm experiencing?

Yes, it is a slipstream update from 10.1.1(14B100) to 10.1.1(14B150).

Did you ever find an answer for this? The answer stating "just update" is flipping useless as it is almost 3GB (in the case of iPhone 7) and impractical with SA data prices. This forum seems to be pretty useless, rarely any informative answers.

I have the same issue on iPhone 7, with iTunes showing I need to update to 10.1.1. whereas the phone is on that version already?? Any Apple people on this forum?

The answers - there are several - have been posted in the same thread you just replied to. But surely you are not updating to 9.2.1, as that version hasn't been available for over 8 months. Why don't you post a new question, and ask exactly what you need to know.

iTunes is asking you to update from 10.1.1(14B100) to 10.1.1(14B150). As this is an update that is out of the regular sequence it must be pretty important, or Apple would have waited for 10.1.2 or 10.2, whichever is the next version.

And no, there are no Apple technical people on this forum in an official capacity. This is a user-to-user technical support forum.

After I made the adjustments in windows10 program files and got the latest version of iTunes to recognize my Verizon iPhone6 plus; and Even though my phone also had 10.1.1 installed, iTunes required the update to 10.1.1. (Same version number but there may be a difference between Verizon or maybe it needs it for Windows. No idea obviously) So after letting iTunes download the update and install it on the phone it i was able to get all the functionality I wanted. It took over 2 hours because it was like a 24 gigabyte update. And my internet speed is only 20mbs.
