I find Apple's refusal to patch iOS18 (other than for very old devices that do not support 26) to be more objectionable. I have a 13 mini and everything I've read says not to upgrade to 26. Yet Apple won't issue patches for known security issues that are actively being exploited in the wild? That's crazy.

Other than the one from yesterday? https://support.apple.com/en-us/126793

Or last month? https://support.apple.com/en-us/126347

Or December? https://support.apple.com/en-us/125885

Or November? https://support.apple.com/en-us/125633

Or September? https://support.apple.com/en-us/125327

My dude, I don't know how much more patching you want.

		They're not making those updates available to all devices on iOS18. For example, the update from yesterday is just for iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR. As Ars reports, they are not issuing security patches for any devices that "can" run iOS 26, no matter how lousy that experience would be. > Apple also released a few other security-focused updates for older operating systems. The iOS and iPadOS 18.7.7 updates are available for the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR, as well as the 7th-gen iPad, all devices that don’t support iOS or iPadOS 26. At this point, if you’re using a device that can be upgraded to version 26, Apple is no longer releasing iOS 18 updates for your phone or tablet.
