Very Basic Update Question
I have an 11th Gen PW that hasn't been updated since 5.16.4
To bring everything up to date, do I have to install each and every update separately or will installing just the latest (5.18.3) bring everything up to date?

Just the latest update is what will be needed. Some very old devices needed to be updated with multiple updates. My suspicion is that they did this to reduce the size of the update packages by only including the files that were needed for the update. With the increase in connection speeds today, a 400MB package is not all that large.

If you care about jailbreaking, do not upgrade beyond 5.17.1.

DNSB, Thank you, that's what I was hoping but it helps to know for sure.

Frogm4n, jailbreaking is FAR beyond my capabilities so it's really not an issue.
