Today Apple will issue software updates to devices still running iOS 18 to protect them from an exploit called DarkSword, reports Wired.
The tech giant says it will enable iOS 18-specific fixes for millions of iPhone owners who remain on that iOS version rather than force them to update to iOS 26. DarkSword is a web based tool that enables malicious hackers to steal data from iPhones, and it’s publicly available for everyone to use.
iPhone users can install the updates by opening up the Settings app, going to General, and selecting the Software Update option. Those with automatic updates turned on will see the new software installed automatically.
Apple has already patched iOS 26 against DarkSword.
