Apple just released new updates for old versions of iOS, macOS, and iPadOS

Apple has released a new wave of software updates today, including iOS 26.3 and many more 26.3 updates. But the company also has new updates for older OS versions, like iOS 18.7.5 for iPhone and more.

iOS 18.7.5 arrives for iPhone, plus new macOS Sequoia and Sonoma updates and more

If you use an Apple device, chances are there’s a new software update available for you today.

Most of those updates focus on the latest OS versions for Apple products. These include iOS 26.3, iPadOS 26.3, macOS Tahoe 26.3, and 26.3 releases for watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS too.

But if you’re not running the latest OS on your device, there might still be new software ready for you.

Apple has also released the following updates for older OS versions:

  • iOS 18.7.5 for iPhone
  • iPadOS 18.7.5 for iPad
  • macOS Sequoia 15.7.4 for Mac
  • macOS Sonoma 14.8.4 for Mac

So if your iPhone, iPad, or Mac is still running older software, be sure to check out the Software Update screen in Settings to see if there’s a new update.

The focus of these updates is important security fixes. Thus, they are recommended for installation by all users.

Just last week, Apple shipped a variety of new software updates for even older OS versions. You can find the details on those releases here.
