It's interesting that all the software releases this time focus on bug fixes, presumably because Apple wants to keep all the big announcements for WWDC in June. Apple is expected to highlight iOS 11, watchOS 4, tvOS 11, and macOS 10.13 at the event in California. Alternatively, Apple is also expected to launch the Siri Speaker and 10.5-inch iPad Pro at the event.
