Apple releases iOS 18.7.2: a key update for older iPhones not compatible with iOS 26

Apple has just rolled out iOS 18.7.2, a small but essential update for iPhones that can’t upgrade to iOS 26. While it doesn’t bring new features, it significantly strengthens the security of millions of older devices.

A quiet update with major importance

Once again, Apple proves its commitment to users with older devices. Alongside iPadOS 18.7.2, this version fixes critical vulnerabilities found in native apps like App Store, Camera, Notes, and Find My, among others

Although it’s not a feature update, it’s a vital patch for device protection. Apple recommends that all users install it to keep their systems secure and running smoothly.

Why you shouldn’t skip this update

Even if it seems minor, iOS 18.7.2 adds another layer of security for devices that can’t move to iOS 26. Installing it helps protect your iPhone against recent threats and keeps it stable.

Models that remain on iOS 18 include the iPhone 12, iPhone 11, and earlier generations, which may no longer receive major updates but still perform perfectly with proper care and maintenance.

For those who can update to iOS 26: now’s the time

If your iPhone supports iOS 26, this is the right moment to upgrade. Version iOS 26.1 improves battery life, boosts performance, and adds the ability to adjust the Liquid Glass display effect with a single button.

With iOS 26.2 already in development, keeping your device updated ensures better performance and longevity.
