If you have a iPhone which supports IOS 26.X but is on IOS 18 they aren’t showing the latest security update for 18. On my iPhone 13 it only showed the 26.2 update. To get it to offer the 18.7.3 update switch your update settings to “IOS 18 Developer Beta”.

I personally like to stay one major version behind these days as Apples software quality has gone a bit downhill. It’s a bit of a bad look trying to force people into a major version upgrade when a patch release is available. Not sure what drove the decision to not show both options like they used to.

Figured I would let the community know how to get the patch version instead.
