iOS Security Updates just landed (support.apple.com)

Apple released updates for all iOS devices back to the iPhone 5s, that phone is more than 12 years old and is still getting security updates.

I’m on the iPhone X and trying to buy European for my next phone, especially with Tim Apple sucking up to Trump, but 12 years of security updates is impressive commitment.

I don’t think these updates are security updates though?

Apple sometimes takes a day to publish them. Kinda annoying.

I thought that was just laziness by the Apple web team. So there are serious bugs out there for Apple devices and Apple won’t tell us which are affected or give updates to anything other than their latest iOS?

My praise may have been premature.

Not security updates; itagv2 and bug fixes for 18 and 26, and certificate updates for 12 and 15 to keep stuff that requires an Apple ID functioning post-2026..

The official Apple release pages have some general details, and there’s a writeup on Ars Technica tha’s based off of Apple’s published info.

And yet devices that could benefit from iOS 18.x releases beyond 18.7.2 are being held in abeyance by Apple as a forcing function to get users who are unwilling or unable to abide iOS 26 to migrate...

Just updated from 18 to 26. Absolutely nothing about it is better.

There is nothing of value in iOS 26. If your device has AI then there's some things.

In fact I would argue it's almost universally worse in almost every single way. I wholesale regret updating.

With the departure of Alan Dye from Apple (https://daringfireball.net/2025/12/bad_dye_job ) hopefully sanity will return to their UI/UX, but it might take a few iOS versions (read: years) to break the glass.
