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

Apple today delivered its 26.5 software lineup, including iOS 26.5, iPadOS 26.5, macOS 26.5 and more. But the company also released new updates for older versions of its iPhone, iPad and Mac software, including iOS 18.7.9 and above.

iOS 18.7.9, macOS 15.7.7 and more among new updates for older OS versions

Today, alongside its latest 26.5 family of software updates, Apple released new updates for three older versions of iOS, four older versions of iPadOS, and two older versions of macOS.

Here’s the full list of past updates, courtesy of Aaron Perris:

iOS

iOS 18.7.9
iOS 16.7.16
iOS 15.8.8

iPadOS

iPadOS 18.7.9
iPadOS 17.7.11
iPadOS 16.7.16
iPadOS 15.8.8

macOS

macOS Sequoia 15.7.7
macOS Sonoma 14.8.7

We don’t yet have all the details on what’s included in these updates. However, they are largely expected to focus on improving security.

For example, Apple has released security notes for iOS and iPadOS 15.8.8. They point out that the updates contain the same notification security fix that shipped in iOS and iPadOS 26.4.2 last month.

So if you’re using one of these older versions of iOS, iPadOS, or macOS, make sure to update it to get the latest security improvements.

Are you still using iOS 18 or another of those older OS versions? Let us know in the comments.
