CVE-2026-28950
This update is available through iTunes and Software Update on your iOS
device, and will not appear in your computer's Software Update
application, or in the Apple Downloads site. Make sure you have an
Internet connection and have installed the latest version of iTunes from
https://www.apple.com/itunes/
iTunes and Software Update on the device will automatically check
Apple's update server on its weekly schedule. When an update is
detected, it is downloaded and the option to be installed is presented
to the user when the iOS device is docked. We recommend applying the
update immediately if possible. Selecting Don't Install will present the
option the next time you connect your iOS device.
The automatic update process may take up to a week depending on the day
that iTunes or the device checks for updates. You may manually obtain
the update via the Check for Updates button within iTunes, or the
Software Update on your device.
To check that the iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad has been updated:
* Navigate to Settings
* Select General
* Select About. The version after applying this update
will be "iOS 18.7.8 and iPadOS 18.7.8".
