The iOS 18.6.2 update is one of those versions that Apple is forced to release because it has identified critical security risks to its devices. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">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 \u201cextremely sophisticated attack&#8221; that is claimed to have targeted specific users.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>iOS 18.6.2 Update For iPhones: Update Now<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">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:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Go to Settings <\/span><\/li>\n<li>Tap on General<\/li>\n<li>Click on Software update<\/li>\n<li>You will see the new iOS 18.6.2 update pop-up on the screen<\/li>\n<li>Authenticate the download using your passcode<\/li>\n<li>Reboot your iPhone to get the new update<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">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. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">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 \u2018small performance adjustments\u2019 to give you longer battery life.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ff263f4b724d470d jsx-1168577943 artcta\">\n<div style=\"font-family:Inter;font-size:17px;line-height:28px\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Get latest technology updates, including phone launches, gadget reviews, AI advancements.
