Apple officially released its latest mobile software, iOS 26, which brought along a head function called Liquid Glass. In addition to the flagship update, the American Tech giant has also made iOS 18.7 available to users who are not ready or can make the jump, Forbes reports. Apple releases iOS 26 and iOS 18.7? According to the publication, the double launch iPhone owners offer a choice, although Apple is unlikely to manage the two versions for long parallel. Historically, the company maintains support for the older branch of iOS for a few months, allowing cautious users a window before they finally rumble on the new platform. A lighter option in iOS 18.7 The report emphasizes that for those who would like to avoid the potential mistakes and teeth problems that can come up with a major update, iOS 18.7 offers a lighter option. The download is about a fifteenth of the size of iOS 26, which makes the installation faster, and it delivers key error solutions and security stains. However, Apple has not disclosed the specific vulnerabilities, a detail that usually confirms it once a critical mass of devices have been updated. Compatibility of devices -compatibility is another decisive factor. IOS 18.7 is reportedly available for each iPhone released since 2018, starting with the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR, and extends to the current iPhone 16 series, including the budget-friendly iPhone 16E. IOS 26, meanwhile, supports all these devices, except the three oldest in that group. Although very eager to try out liquid glass, some users may prefer to wait until its performance has been proven in everyday use. For the time being, iPhone owners have two clear roads: Embrace Apple’s most ambitious update yet, or play it safely with a smaller, security-oriented patch. Either way, the clock has been taping on how long both options will stay on the table.
