If I'm on 18.7.1, do I still need to upgrade? https://www.cvedetails.com/version/2021355/Apple-Iphone-Os-1... seems to be the same as 18.7.2 https://www.cvedetails.com/version/2037518/Apple-Iphone-Os-1...

Re: Apple Withdraws iOS 18 Security Updates
#22I rejected iOS 26 for a while and boy did my opinion on whether Apple forces version changes do a 180. Everything people lambast Windows for was there. Nags with no “no” option, a red notification badge you can’t dismiss, scare dialogs, and disabling unrelated features. This latest slimy behavior is unfortunately quite consistent with how Apple treats disobedient iOS users.
On macOS they still seem to be stopped by firm enough non-consent, but they really try to force you first, and I get the impression they may do worse any year now.

#23Jokes on them, I ran android for years, I'm used to no security updates. iOS 18 forever!

#24> Take this seriously. If your iPhone does not have Apple’s new update, you must install it now. We know attacks on iPhones have started. We have been warned the threat will extend well beyond those highly targeted initial attacks. And hundreds of millions of iPhone users are also now facing down an unwelcome surprise.
It's hard to take this seriously.

#25> CVE-2025-43529 allows threat actors a direct code execution capability, while CVE-2025-14174 provides the much needed sandbox escape and privilege escalation capabilities which makes it devastating Good news for people wanting to run the code they want on their own devices?
you and your friends can both run code on your device!
this assumes your friends are actually a North Korean APT

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
OK, I had iOS 18 beta selected. I turned that off and IOS 26.2 magically reappeared as an offering. I guess since 18.7.3 is not going to be offered to me, I must install 26.2.
18.7.3 is no longer available as beta? It was as of a few weeks ago. Public or Developer beta?
A few weeks ago, with 18 Developer Beta selected. 18.7.3 was offered to me. But not now.

#27If you’re in the public beta program you’ll already have this update.
