The concerns regarding the new iOS 18.6 update are high because Apple has notified about the possible exploits that may have already affected many iPhone users. It has talked about an “extremely sophisticated attack” that is claimed to have targeted specific users.
iOS 18.6.2 Update For iPhones: Update Now
The details shared by Apple about the security risks affecting iPhone users are extremely serious. And when the company shares worrying information about possible exploits, you need to take immediate notice and act on the steps advised by them.
Going further into the exploits, Apple says the security issue is related to malicious image files that were processed in such a way that can cause the memory to be corrupted. The company has even received reports of this security bug being exploited with sophisticated attacks.
The iOS 18.6.2 update is available for a wide range of iPhone models. If you are using the iPhone Xs or higher models, up to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, everyone needs to install the new version immediately to protect their devices from possible hacking attempts. To get the major iOS 18.6 version, follow these steps:
- Go to Settings
- Tap on General
- Click on Software update
- You will see the new iOS 18.6.2 update pop-up on the screen
- Authenticate the download using your passcode
- Reboot your iPhone to get the new update
While the new iOS 18.6.2 update is essential for all users, Apple is busy working on the iOS 26 beta updates, which has now moved to phase 4 with features like adaptive power mode, intro video for Liquid design during startup and more.
Adaptive power is part of the battery settings for iPhones that support AI features. This means the new tool is available if you have the iPhone 15 Pro or later models. The company claims the new battery feature can make ‘small performance adjustments’ to give you longer battery life.
