iPhone 11 iOS update shows conflicting version numbers

I just installed what I "thought" was OS 27.2 to my iPhone 11 - using my Mac internet connection. As I was watching the process, I was seeing the file being downloaded, and it was clearly labeled as OS 26.6.2

Upon completion, when I checked what the iPhone "About" showed, it showed as OS 27.2, though I had seen 26.6.2 had been installed.

Found that all very confusing. Not sure what was an actually installed. Anyone else have a similar experience???

Expressing or conveying visual experiences effectively through these forums may be challenging.

You likely saw the two options that iOS still provides (one is iOS 26.7.2 and the other is iOS 27.2). See the image below:
