Joe Rossignol (iOS/iPadOS release notes, security, no enterprise, no developer):

Apple today released iOS 26.6.1, iPadOS 26.6.1, visionOS 26.6.1, and macOS 26.6.2, with all of the updates containing security fixes.

Apple also released iOS 18.7.10 and iPadOS 18.7.10 with security fixes.

The version numbers are now out of sync with macOS because macOS 26.6.1 fixed an important screen sharing vulnerability a few weeks ago.

Juli Clover:

There are fixes for an audio vulnerability that could allow an app to leak sensitive user information, an image vulnerability that could allow for arbitrary code execution, a trio of kernel vulnerabilities, and several WebKit bugs that could cause memory corruption or Safari crashes. Of the 29 CVEs outlined in the document, 21 are WebKit-related, and nine are credited to OpenAI Codex Security.

On iOS, Apple also fixed a telephony bug that could allow an attacker in a privileged network position to bypass IPSec authentication and intercept network traffic.

Previously:

• iOS 26.6 and iPadOS 26.6

Juli Clover (iOS/iPadOS release notes, security, enterprise, developer):

iOS 26.6 and iPadOS 26.6 include security fixes for the iPhone and iPad. The updates also optimize the Spotlight index in preparation for iOS 27 and iPadOS 27.

There are a lot of security fixes.

Rosyna Keller:

Yay, iOS 26.6 is out. And it fixes a privacy leak I filed in April that allowed malicious apps/Ad SDKs to track a user across apps.

Previously:

• iOS 26.5.2 and iPadOS 26.5.2

Update (2026-07-29): Kirk McElhearn:

Yesterday’s iOS update fixed the battery problem that I’ve had for the past couple of months. My iPhone 16 Pro Max would not make it a full day on a single charge.

Juli Clover (iOS/iPadOS release notes, security, no enterprise, no developer):

Apple told Reuters that it released the updates earlier than planned due to concerns about AI-assisted hacks.

Previously:

• iOS 26.5.1
• iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5
