What are iOS software updates?
iOS software updates are files that you download every time you want to update the software of your iPhone, iPad or iPod via iTunes. After your device has been updated, you don’t need the file you downloaded and thus you can remove it and free up a significant amount of space on your Mac. And in case you need to use such file again, you can re-download it just like you did it for the first time.
