Apple's iOS 26.5 Update Patches More Than 50 Security Flaws

Fairly simple, to show Apple that I have a spine and will not bow down to such bad behavior.
If we do not take a stand, the companies are just continue to go down this path.

Ahhh well. You do you.

iPhones potentially capable of running iOS 26.5 will not receive any 18.7.X updates anymore. Apple wants to force them to shift to iOS 26

Unfortunate if true.

I think it’s true. I sense a class action suit coming on.

I have 18.7.8 installed on 26.5 capable 11 pro

Yet, they limited the release of iOS 18.7.9 and iPadOS 18.7.9 to devices that cannot upgrade to iOS 26.x

Yup. And even more annoying is the fact is that there is no contact information for the Customer Disservice department on their website.

I’ve been on Tahoe since last year. Everything works well. Its highly unlikely anything will break.

They aren’t even ads, really. They’re place recommendations. And they’re anonymized. Its no different from someone having a sponsor in a YouTube video. Additionally, you can very easily just ignore said recommendations by not tapping on them and scrolling right past them.

You do realize they are going to do it anyways? You’re one person out of billions of Apple users. You’re in the minority of people who actually care about these sponsored recommendations. And I don’t think spines have anything to do with “rejecting” something Apple is going to add regardless. Are you seriously going to stay on 26.4.1 until the end of time, over anonymized recommendations? The security issues that have been fixed outweigh getting sponsored place recommendations in the search tab.

Count me as 1 more person.

Also the majority uses Windows OS and I am not using that either.
