Overview

  • Server logs cited by MacRumors and other outlets show entries for an unreleased iOS 18.7, and Apple has not opened a public beta for it.
  • Coverage describes iOS 18.7 as a security and stability release with no new features, positioned to protect older devices that will not move to the next major version.
  • iPhone XS, XS Max and XR are reported to be incompatible with iOS 26 and could receive iOS 18.7 as their last official update.
  • iOS 26 is expected around mid-September alongside iPhone 17, bringing a Liquid‑Glass visual redesign, deeper Apple Intelligence integration, updates to core apps and a revamped CarPlay experience.
  • Some reports suggest Apple could ship iOS 18.7 in parallel with iOS 26 to carry over key security fixes, following an 18.6.2 patch that addressed an exploited vulnerability reportedly delivered via WhatsApp.
