You’re being downvoted, but you’re correct. Apple is probably risking a lawsuit by not shipping an already available security update for all users of iOS 18.

RustyShackleford@piefed.social 3 weeks agoSo cool that Apple stopped making iOS 18 updates for all devices above iPhone XR. /s Forcing users on 11/12/13/14/15/16/17 devices to choose either staying on the more stable 18.7.2 where they were comfortable, or the garbage can of iOS 26. They fixed the DarkSword issue on the XR and select iPads with a 18.8 patch, but refuse to release it for anyone still on 18.7.2, on any device that’s iOS 26 compatible.

So cool Apple stopped making iOS 2 updates for all devices above iPhone 3G. /s Forcing users on iPhone 1 to choose either staying on the more stable 2.2.1 where they were comfortable, or the garbage can of iOS 3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18/26.
