Apple Releases iOS 18.7: Urgent iPhone Update For Users Who Don’t Want iOS 26

iOS 18.7 and iPadOS 18.7 deliver key security fixes and bug repairs for users opting out of the feature-rich iOS 26, ensuring device protection continues.

  • Yesterday, Apple Inc. released iOS 18.7 and iPadOS 18.7, focusing on security and bug fixes as alternatives for iPhone and iPad users not upgrading to iOS 26.
  • For older or incompatible devices, Apple Inc. typically runs iOS 18.7 and iOS 26 in parallel for about two months, with iPhone XR and iPhone XS remaining on iOS 18.7 while iOS 26 supports devices from 2019 onward.
  • Users can install iOS 18.7 via Settings > General > Software Update, with sizes ranging from 973MB on iPhone 16 Pro Max to 6.7GB from iOS 18.6.2; Apple recommends backing up and freeing about 15GB.
  • Both updates are available now and iOS 26 is rolling out globally, giving iPhone owners a choice between stable iOS 18.7 or feature-rich iOS 26; Apple rarely maintains parallel versions long.
  • IOS 26 introduces the Liquid Glass design and features like Live Translation and FaceTime safety tools, while Apple confirmed the Siri upgrade is delayed until the coming year with a major update expected in 2026.
