Apple announced the release of the second major update to the iOS 26 operating system, iOS 26.2, on December 12, in a surprise move that came earlier than expected.
This update comes more than a month after the release of iOS 26.1 and carries a set of new improvements and features, with a strong focus on enhancing security, as it fixes more than $26 \text{ security vulnerabilities}$, two of which were actually exploited in advanced attacks.
iOS 26.2 is a critical update for billions of iPhone users, especially with Apple’s explicit recommendation to upgrade devices from older versions like iOS 18 to iOS 26 to get the latest security protection. The update is compatible with iPhone 11 and later, in addition to iPadOS 26.2 for supported iPad devices.
Key New Features and Improvements in iOS 26.2:
- Better control over Liquid Glass design: The update introduces a new slider to adjust the transparency of the Lock Screen clock, allowing users to reduce the transparent glassy effect that drew criticism in the base iOS 26, to improve readability and clarity.
