Apple also released iOS 18.7.10 and iPadOS 18.7.10 with security fixes.

All of the iOS and iPadOS updates released today deliver security fixes that were first made available in the iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 betas, according to an Apple support document, which provides more specific details. Likewise, macOS 26.6.2 delivers security fixes that were first made available in the macOS Golden Gate 27 beta.

Apple says visionOS 26.6.1 security fix details are coming soon.

Be aware that iOS 26.6.1, iPadOS 26.6.1, and macOS 26.6.2 have new build numbers compared to the Release Candidate versions that were seeded last week.

Just got my old 11 Pro back and am setting it up as a secondary. It ran iOS 18, I updated it to 26.6 to restore my backup and get it ready for the 27 beta.
I was very surprised to be met with an available software update right after installing the available software update. But since I’m moving this old horse to 27 I can skip 26.6.1 altogether.
 
That was quick... showed up on my M3 MBP (kicked off the install) but not M1 Studio as of yet.

edit: 14 mins later, update appeared for M1 Studio as well.

don't really like it when they do betas and public releases on same day.

1. it is confusing
2. too much to download in 1 day (for example 2 tahoe's)

for macOS Tahoe 26.6.2 build 25G83 here is the ipsw and full installer

This is my ingnorance with updates asking, but why would there be an RC for an incremental update?
Click to expand...
That's how they label all of the betas for minor updates late in the life of a macOS version. They are released as an RC for testing, and unless there are any significant issues they get release a week or two later, otherwise they get another RC release.
 
My Mac isn't even seeing macOS 26.6.1. Refreshing check for update doesn't pull up an update. Anyone have any thoughts on if I can push the update to happen?
 
I'm not going to open my update screen to test, least I update by mistake.

Can anyone confirm if 18.7.10 was released for devices that also support iOS 26? Like the 13 mini?
