During installation of iOS 18.7 on my iPhone 16 Pro using my MacBook Pro (Sequoia 15.7). When I clicked the "check for update" button, nothing happened. I waited, clicked again, rinse repeat etc. I moved the finder window used to update the phone, and there was a dialog box underneath.
I don't remember the exact wording, and I was negligent in that I didn't take a screenshot...
To sum up the dialog: I had the option of installing an update or refusing. I initially chose "no" thinking something was off because the dialog box was behind the finder window. It seemed like something had to be installed before the actual iOS update. I shut down, rebooted both phone and computer. Same thing happened on the next try, and with a second iPhone I have here. I was also concerned that it may have been a spoofed dialog box - yes, I am a bit paranoid.
I have run through what happened many times that my memory of the exact wording and steps is a bit off. I regret not jotting it down when it happened, and taking screenshots.
Could my Mac or iPhones be compromised in any way? I am concerned.
Has anyone seen anything similar to what I have described?
