iPhone & iPad users β update to iOS 26.5 now.
Whatβs different this time? Itβs one of the biggest security patches Apple has shipped in a single update β 50+ vulnerabilities fixed at once, including six kernel-level flaws (one could give an app root access), a dozen WebKit bugs triggered just by visiting a dodgy website, and an App Intents sandbox escape. Apple has published the full technical details, so unpatched devices are now a known target.
