US EditionPSA: iOS 18.5 patches over 30 iPhone security vulnerabilties
- Apple released iOS 18.5 and iPadOS 18.5 on May 13, 2025, bringing minor updates and security patches for iPhone and iPad users.
- This update follows a development cycle starting with a developer beta in early April and aims to address security vulnerabilities and add small features before WWDC 2025.
- Key improvements include fixes for over 30 security issues affecting Bluetooth, FaceTime, and baseband on the new iPhone 16e with Apple’s C1 modem, plus new Pride Harmony wallpaper, enhanced Screen Time notifications, and Apple TV app purchase prompts on third-party devices.
- Apple’s security site notes no known exploits in the wild, while the update weighs 1.34GB and requires device charging over 50% or power connection to complete after reboot as per the normal installation process.
- Users should update promptly to benefit from improved security and usability, though iOS 18.5 features no major interface or AI intelligence changes, maintaining a focus on stability and incremental enhancements.
