Apple rolls out iOS 26.6.1, iOS 18.7.10, and more with security fixes

Apple has started rolling out iOS and iPadOS 26.6.1 to the public, with the new build number being 23G83. This update comes three weeks after the release of iOS 26.6 and iPadOS 26.6 to the public, which included bug fixes and started preparing your iPhone/iPad for version 27 with Spotlight Search indexing. Today’s updates are expected to bring more stability and a better experience for users running previous versions. iOS 26.6.1 was already expected earlier this month, with Apple also releasing the Release Candidate version to beta testers last week. According to Apple’s Release Notes, “This update provides security fixes for your iPhone.

Apple keeps refining the software experience with every update, whilst also fixing security issues. However, Apple has not yet updated its Security Update webpage to incorporate the release of the new software versions, which detail the security vulnerabilities that have been fixed and subsequently credit the researchers who found them.

Along with these, Apple is also rolling out iOS 18.7.10 and iPadOS 18.7.10 with the build number 22H374 for older devices such as the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, and iPad 7th generation. If you have already installed iOS/iPadOS 27 beta on your device, you will NOT see this update. While all iPhone models that support iOS 26 will support iOS 27, iPadOS 26 is the last major update for the iPad (8th generation), iPad Air (3rd generation), and iPad Pro (11-inch first generation).
