Apple has announced it will release an update for specific iPhones today — and announcing this in advance is pretty much unprecedented.

Apple today released a new build of iOS 18.7.7 and iPadOS 18.7.7, presumably with a fix for the DarkSword exploit. Apple told Wired that it would release an iOS 18 update for more devices, allowing users with auto-update turned on to receive the security update.

Apple has released the first public beta for iOS 26.5, just a few days after the beta for developers came out. One of the biggest changes the new operating system brings is the “Suggested Places” feature in Apple Maps.

The threat of remotely installed malware is big enough that Apple stops begging people to install iOS 26 and 'backports' iOS 18.7.7 to iPhone 11 through iPhone 16.

Internal logs confirm iOS 26.4.1 is on the way. From fixing Wi-Fi 7 connectivity issues to resolving keyboard lag, and more.

Apple today seeded revised first betas of upcoming iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5 updates to developers for testing purposes, with the software coming four days after Apple seeded the initial betas. Registered developers can download the betas from the Settings app on the iPhone or iPad by going to the General section and selecting Software Update.

It's time for Apple to turn the iPhone into a pro-grade tool with its upcoming OS.

To try iOS 26.5 beta (and the iPadOS 26.5 beta), you'll need to sign up for the Apple beta software program. This will allow you to try out pre-release versions of upcoming iOS updates. As a best practice, always back up your device before installing a beta version of a new OS update.
