Today’s iOS 27 update fixes over 100 security vulnerabilities, which is a good reason to install the new software.
If you don’t want to update to iOS 27 yet, Apple also released iOS 26.7 with over 80 security fixes. 75 of the fixes are shared across both updates, so iOS 26.7 fixes many of the same issues.
There are several kernel patches, including one that could allow a malicious application to gain root access and another that could enable Bluetooth remote code execution. A full list of vulnerabilities is available on Apple’s website for iOS 27 and iOS 26.7.
None of the flaws have been actively exploited, but now that the details have been released, devices that aren’t updated could be vulnerable.
Apple has detected an increasing number of vulnerabilities as AI models get better at detecting bugs. Three of today’s patches are credited to Anthropic’s Claude, and OpenAI Codex Security is mentioned in Apple’s additional acknowledgment section.
