Apple has issued an important software for iOS 18 users who are holding out and avoiding iOS 26 for whatever reason. Specifically, iOS 18.7.7 for all iPhone models running iOS 18 (not running iOS 26 or newer), along with iPadOS 18.7.7 for all iPad users with iOS 18 (also not running iPadOS 26 or newer), are both available as security updates. The iOS 18.7.7 update includes important security updates and is therefore recommended for all users to install, because some of the security issues addressed by the update are known to be actively exploited. No new features or changes are included otherwise.
Again, the iOS 18.7.7 update is aimed specifically at iPhone and iPad devices that are still running iOS 18, but are otherwise compatible with but not yet installing the iOS 26 updates….
