A confusing update to Apple’s Developer pages claims that iPadOS 17.4.1 is shipping on March 26, despite having already been released on March 21.

On Tuesday morning, AppleInsider spotted an update on the Apple Releases RSS feed, which lists new updates to Apple’s operating systems. Unusually, it stated that iPadOS 17.4.1 would ship at 5 PM GMT (1 PM EDT.)
This is unusual for two reasons, with the main one being that iPadOS 17.4.1 is already available to install, having done so since March 21 alongside updates to iOS 17.4.1 and visionOS 1.1.1. The other is that Apple doesn’t pre-announce updates via its RSS feed at all.
