Apple has released iOS 18.6 and iPadOS 18.6 for the public, and it is now available for download on all supported devices. iOS 18.6 is the last major iOS release before Apple releases iOS 26 in the fall.
Today’s public release comes after a beta testing phase, which concluded with last week’s release of iOS 18.6 RC.
iOS 18.6 is a minor update as far as new features are concerned. It does not bring any new features to iPhones or iPads, however, it does bring a bunch of bug fixes, security patches, and improvements that make it an important download.
You can download this update by opening Settings -> General -> Software Update. If you want to install it manually, then you can also use the direct IPSW download links for iOS 18.6 and use Finder on Mac and iTunes on Windows to install this update.
Along with iOS 18.6 and iPadOS 18.6, Apple has also released macOS Sequoia 15.6, watchOS 11.6 tvOS 18.6, visionOS 2.6, and HomePod 18.6. You can now download them on their supported devices.
