Here's What You Should Know About the Last Major iOS 18 Update Before iOS 26

On July 21, Apple seeded the iOS 18.6 release candidate, alongside macOS 15.6 and other RC betas to developers and public beta testers.
With the RC marking beta closure, Apple is poised to release iOS 18.6 within weeks ahead of its fall iOS 26 launch.
The update focuses on bug and security fixes, so developers and beta testers should not expect new features and are advised to back up their files before installing public betas.
In China, Apple is supporting Apple Intelligence models powered by Alibaba, while EU users will experience a revamped third-party app marketplace after the European Commission mandated removal of warning messages.
A public rollout could occur around next Monday, July 28, as iOS 18.6 is the last major update before iOS 26 this fall.
