How hard to live in the shadow of iOS 26, MacOS 26 and Cie! Each summer is always the same thing, the new versions of Apple’s system software is much less successful because of these brand new beta systems presented at WWDC. In the meantime, after having proposed RCs last week, Apple is deploying to the MacOS 15.6, iOS 18.6, iPados 18.6, Watchos 11.6, Tvos 18.6, Visionos 2.6 and Homepodos 18.6
After having installed these updates, do not expect spectacular changes. Even Safari will not launch faster. In addition to the traditional corrections of bugs and safety faults, the changes made are very minor. Note, however, that this update corrects a problem that can prevent sharing the souvenir films in Photos has disappeared, just like another linked to health data.
These versions are openly shunned, while in general, they are the most stable in the series. And fortunately, Apple has worked almost for a year on the subject with the release of the first final versions.
The developments of Sequoia and iOS 18 are not over. Apple is used to offering a “last” update that comes out at the same time as the first final version of its new system software. Then, these versions will only have the right only to security updates.

For macOSThis update provides significant fixes and safety -related improvements, and is recommended for all users. The version notes for Watchos are identical to those of MacOS.
Updates for the old versions of iOS and macOS
As always or almost, Apple took the opportunity to offer update updates for the old versions of its system software. It is thus possible to download MacOS Ventura 13.7.7, MacOS Sonoma 14.7.7 or even iPados 17.7.9. These versions incorporate the different security fixes that are included in the latest Apple systems.
The list of fixes is quite long, Apple has corrected flaws relating to the kernel, Find My, notes, webkit, accessibility (confidentiality indicators for access to the microphone or the camera may not be displayed correctly in certain cases …), or even mail …
The logical suite for Apple. In addition to the beta 5 of iOS 26, macOS 26 and Cie which are hoped for next week, it is the upcoming arrival of beta for iOS 18.7 and Sequoia 15.7. Know that, if you set up today’s updates, you will have another week to go back. True to its habit, Apple will then stop signing “the old versions”.
