iOS 26.3.1 and macOS 26.3.1 Are Coming Soon

Apple today confirmed that iPadOS 26.3.1 and macOS 26.3.1 are on the way. The updates will likely be released at some point this week or next week.

iOS 26
iPadOS 26.3.1 and macOS 26.3.1 are mentioned on the tech specs page for the new Studio Display and Studio Display XDR, which launch on Wednesday, March 11.

On a related note, both the new Studio Display and the Studio Display XDR are compatible with Apple silicon Macs only, according to Apple. Even then, the Studio Display XDR is limited to 60Hz if you have a Mac with an M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra, M2, or M3 chip. The original Studio Display supported some Intel Macs.

The full text from Apple's website:

Mac Studio (2022 and later)
Mac mini (2020 and later)

Studio Display is compatible with the following iPad models with iPadOS 26.3.1 or later:

iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd–6th generation)
iPad Pro 11-inch (1st–4th generation)
iPad Air (M2, M3, and M4)
iPad Air (5th generation)

MacRumors also continues to see evidence of Apple preparing iOS 26.3.1, so there should be at least three minor software updates coming soon.

iOS 26.3.1, iPadOS 26.3.1, and macOS 26.3.1 may also include bug fixes and/or security patches.

visionOS 26.3.1 was released last week with an Apple TV app bug fix.

Forcing people onto the (dreaded by many) Tahoe just to use your new display.
...Just as they did previously to use your USB-C kb+td+mouse on the previous macOS. Pfft, Apple!
Why would anyone buy the new displays. Overpriced and ridiculous specs in 2026.

Surely hope it fixes my calculator app. 26.3 made calculations delay by a half second and it is truly frustrating. On both of my Macs too.

Things like this is why I hate Tim "I love abusing my own customers" Cooks.

i really wish apple would consistently and clearly list all changes/fixes in detail for each update. this seems to be a problem with so many software companies these days from apps to full OS's.

Should be a very minor update and will be available as a day one update for the new products.
