I have a 14 PM and mine does not show the option to update to iOS 18 anymore; only 26. I have 17.7. I did not update because of the redesigned Photos App.

Is there a way to still get iOS 18 ?
 
The release notes have been updated.
iOS 18.7.3 and iPadOS 18.7.3
Available for:
iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, iPad Pro 13-inch, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 7th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later

Initial release notes: “iPhone XS and later"
Updated release notes: "iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR"

Just as in the previous years, we can now assume that iOS 18 updates will only be released for devices that don’t support iOS 26.
 
It's a bit odd to receive the update for my relatively new iPad Mini 7, but not for my aging iPhone 11.
Thanks to the people pointing to the beta program! I guess, I can sit out the update on my private phone a bit longer now.

I know, why is it so important that the iPhone 11 users update to iOS 26 but not for the newest iPad Pros? It’s like they’re trying to ruin everything about it to get us to upgrade.

Thanks for highlighting this. I don't like it but I like the clarification...
 
Just updated my iPhone SE3 to iOS 26 (got fed up of ‘daily’ reminders to upgrade)…..looks pretty much the same….. :p
Seems like a ‘mountain out of a molehill’….😆
