Apple has released the iOS 18.7 update alongside iOS 26, and it is now available for download. The iOS 18.7 update is now available on all devices that are running iOS 18.
Update: Apple has released iOS 18.7.1 and iPadOS 18.7.1 with security and bug fixes. You can download iOS 18.7.1 IPSW below.
Apple is offering iOS 18.7 as a choice to all users who can choose to either update their iPhone or iPad to iOS 18.7 or jump directly to iOS 26.0, which is the latest version of iOS and a major release.
iOS 18.7, as you would expect, is a minor update that brings security improvements and fixes to iOS. It does not bring any new features or noticeable performance boost to devices.
If you are someone who is not sure about updating to iOS 26 or want Apple and app developers to update their apps first, then installing iOS 18.7 instead of iOS 26 seems like a reasonable option.
You can install iOS 18.7 on any iOS 18-powered device by going to Settings -> General -> Software Update and installing iOS 18.7. Do not tap on Upgrade to iOS 12 when installing, as that would install iOS 26.0 on your device.
