Apple has released an important iOS 18 update for eligible iPhone users this week that is recommended for everyone.
iOS 18.7.2 update is useful for many older iPhones
iOS 26.1 update came out earlier this week but Apple has made a surprising release with the iOS 18.7.2 version for those who still haven’t moved to the Liquid Glass design. It is not very common for the company to have two parallel versions running this late into their schedule but this one seems like an important one for iPhone users. Apple has recommended this update for any iPhone user who has not upgraded to the iOS 26 version.
The release note for the iOS 18.7.2 is quite brief which tells you that the company is not really invested in giving you new features but handles the more crucial parts of the software which is mostly linked to the possible security risks.
iOS 18.7.2 Update For iPhones: What Important Stuff It Offers
As you might have guessed the iOS 18.7.2 update brings important security fixes and is recommended for all the eligible users. That’s basically what the release note for the iOS 18.7.2 update says. Further details have been mentioned on the support page, where the company has the new update and offers patches for the App Store, Audio, camera, Find My and Notes app among others.
Apple has rolled out the iOS 26.1 update which has less bug issues and seems to have improved the battery life of many iPhone models, so making the jump won’t be the worst idea.
The company has also moved to the iOS 26 beta .2 update which is rolling out for developers. But it is good to see the company give security support for those who are still happy to run their iPhones on the iOS 18 version.
Keeping them secure means that more people can trust the brand to prolong its measures for the older devices, something that Samsung and Google will be aspiring to replicate with their recent 7 and 8 years upgrade and support promise for the Galaxy and Pixel devices, respectively.
