Apple has released iOS 26.3 with security fixes for over 35 vulnerabilities across iPhone and iPad devices. The update addresses multiple critical issues, including a dyld vulnerability that Apple acknowledges may have been exploited in sophisticated attacks against specific individuals running older iOS versions.

Following the release of iOS 26.3, iOS 18.7.5, and macOS updates, Apple published detailed security release notes documenting all addressed vulnerabilities. The company specifically noted awareness of potential exploitation of at least one security issue, marking a rare public acknowledgment of active threats. Most of the 37 security fixes don't show evidence of being exploited in the wild.

Users should update immediately to protect against potential security risks. Apple typically rolls out security patches to address both publicly known vulnerabilities and those discovered through internal research or external security researchers. The company's transparency about potential exploitation represents a shift toward greater disclosure of security threats affecting its devices.
