    As you can see by the release notes there are a LOT of security fixes in these releases

    iOS 15.2 security content addresses 38 vulns.

    8: out-of-bounds access
    7: buffer overflow
    5: input validation
    4: race condition
    4: logic issues
    3: memory corruption
    3: state machine
    2: use after free
    1: type confusion
    1: misc permission issue

    Same sort of Askwoody patching rules apply:  Home user, you can wait a bit to ensure there are no side effects.

    Business user – especially someone who might be targeted (work for defense, big business etc) you’ll want this sooner not later
