Here\u2019s what to expect from the latest release.<\/p>\n<p>iOS 18.6.2 now available with security updates<\/p>\n<p>Apple has just released new software for iPhone users, available from Settings \u21fe General \u21fe Software Update.<\/p>\n<p>The previous update, iOS 18.6.1, <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/08\/14\/ios-18-6-1-now-available-heres-whats-new\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">brought Blood Oxygen support<\/a> back to compatible Apple Watch models.<\/p>\n<p>iOS 18.6.2, however, isn\u2019t expected to include any new features for users.<\/p>\n<p>Rather, this update focuses on \u201cimportant security fixes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here are Apple\u2019s release notes:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>This update provides important security fixes and is recommended for all users.<\/p>\n<p>For information on the security content of Apple software updates, please visit this website:<br \/>https:\/\/support.apple.com\/100100<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s possible iOS 18.6.2 could be the last iPhone software update before iOS 26 <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/07\/23\/ios-26-release-date-heres-when-the-new-iphone-update-will-launch\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">launches next month<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So far there\u2019s no evidence of iOS 18.7 being in the works, but that could always change soon.<\/p>\n<p>In the absence of an 18.7 update, the next major iPhone release will be iOS 26. It\u2019s packed with new features, headlined by the <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/07\/02\/ios-26s-new-liquid-glass-design-somehow-checks-all-the-right-boxes\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liquid Glass redesign<\/a> that will also bring a fresh look to macOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Although Apple is using its iOS 26 beta cycle to eliminate as many bugs from that new release as possible, it\u2019s likely iOS 18.6.2 will remain the most stable iPhone software for a while. <\/p>\n<p>So whether your iPhone <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/07\/24\/ios-26-supports-these-recent-iphones-but-drops-three-models\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">supports iOS 26<\/a> or not, iOS 18.6.2 should prove a solid option for anyone opting not to install Apple\u2019s flashy update right at launch.<\/p>\n<p>Are you planning to stay on iOS 18 for a while, or will you install iOS 26 right away?
