From the Daily Mail: Apple has warned all iPhone and iPad users to install the latest updates immediately to safeguard their devices against a critical threat.
The tech giant said two critical flaws were found in WebKit, the browser engine that powers Safari and all browsers on iOS, describing them as part of an ‘extremely sophisticated attack’ targeting specific individuals.
The risk comes from malicious websites, which could trick your device into executing harmful instructions. That means hackers might be able to take control of your iPhone or iPad or run code without your permission.
For users with automatic updates enabled, the patch should already be installed, while others will need to manually download iOS 26.2 or iPadOS 26.2 through their device settings.
Devices considered to be at risk include:
- iPhone 11 and later
- iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later)
- iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation and later)
- iPad Air (3rd generation and later)
- iPad (8th generation and later)
- iPad mini (5th generation and later)
The report also notes that Apple has released updates for iOS 18.7.3 and iPadOS 18.7.3, macOS Tahoe 26.2, tvOS 26.2, watchOS 26.2, visionOS 26.2, and Safari 26.2.
