OTA should be going live now

 

[gwang73]

@Banglazed, you da man! Thanks for remembering us folks on lonely 13!

Not sure if I'm losing my brains but seems like apple has been updating the corresponding iOS update pages before releasing the actual updates lol

Yep, absolutely looks like that to me...

For some reason, I can see the update on my iPhone 11ProMax and iPadMini5. However, it does not appear on my iPad Pro 11 inch. All these machines were running the same version (iOS 13.6).

I currently have iOS 14 on my iPhone 11 Max pro but am having an issue with Viber which I use extensively. I have removed the iOS 14 beta profile but how do I get this 13.6 on my iPhone please.
I don't have a Mac only a PC

Download iTunes, put your iPhone in recovery mode and “Update” it.

Answering my own question here, but I found out the reason why. I had forgotten to remove the iOS 13 beta profile from my iPad. Now that I have done so, I able to download 13.6.1.

 

[Yun0]

Just after i have my screen on my BRAND NEW 11 PRO MAX replaced cause of massive green tint on the ENTIRE LEFT SIDE of the phone when at <15% brightness... oh well its got default warranty + it came with free Applecare+ anyway..

 

[ghostface147]

Still no update. iPhone X.

 

[sbailey4]

Remove any beta profiles you may have installed and reboot.

 

[ghostface147]

Remove any beta profiles you may have installed and reboot.

Completely forgot I had one. Damn. I had already updated manually from Finder.

 

[tops2]

After part of the morning using it in my iPad mini 4, 13.6.1 feels much smoother! On 13.6, my mini 4 felt so sluggish. Especially when I switch from my iPhone XR or iPad Pro 11” to the iPad mini 4, the mini 4 felt sooo sluggish. But somehow using Safari, Reeder 4 and even a few other random apps it’s much smoother for me.

 

[HyruleBorn]

I didn’t notice a battery drain problem prior to this most recent update. I now find myself needing to charge more often after installing iOS 13.6.1.

 

[1BadManVan]

How come I can’t get this update on my iPad? I removed the beta profile and rebooted and still nothing popping up

 

[lanzbulldog]

I've been trying to install 13.6.1 on my iPhone Xr all afternoon, via iTunes under high Sierra 10.13.6 last update 2020-004 without success. I keep getting constant error messages such as, iPhone cannot be restored, an unknown error occurred (code14), tried again afterwards, same message (code 75).
In the meantime have switched from MacBookPro to iMac, tried another USB cable, deactivated virus scanners, nothing, but nothing helps. And when you click on more information, Apple keeps advising, update your software and iTunes, but anyway HighSierra is my last upgrade on both of my macs, there is nothing more to update. So wonder how that should continue in the future? Maybe someone knows if there are currently problems with Apple's update servers. Also tried to restore and/or update, nothing works. i also couldn't update the iPad Air2, i stopped with that also after several try outs. I really don't know anymore, I am desperate. I can't do anything with my iPhone Xr anymore. it looks like a brick, stacks with apple logo and thine greyed line, thats it!?
There most be some way to keep the phone alive again! Please help!

Battery life is definitely worse on both my 11 pro and iPad Pro 4. Getting about 30-60 minutes less usage. Thought it would have stabilized by now. Wonder If should do a DFU restore or just downgrade to 13.6 before Apple stops signing it.

I'm noticing this as well (wet finger in the air) with battery life on my Xs max. I'm thinking of installing ios 14 due to this.

 

[Toratek]

Persistent “this accessory is not supported” warnings after this update... with a freaking 12.9 iPad Pro Magic Kayboard. Very irritating.

 

[Populus]

Some people reported a serious battery drain on 13.5.1, then 13.6 fixed it for some, worsened it for others, and now that 13.6.1 apparently solved all the issues, some people experience an even more severe battery drain.

Honestly I have an iPhone 8 with iOS 12 and I want to update to 13 but at this point I don’t know which one to install, 13.6, 13.6.1, or just keep waiting...

It's almost always different for different people with different devices and different updates. There's almost always someone out there with some sort of battery issue with almost any update. The main question is how widespread it seems to be. It doesn't seem like there's much widespread in relation to it with iOS 13.6.1.
