Apparently, Apple isn’t going to patch iOS 18.6.2, meaning I either risk my information with DarkSword or my sanity with iOS 26.

Say what you want about Microsoft — please! use profanity! — but they wouldn’t let a zero-interaction, full-exfil bug go unfixed on a seven month old release.

@gknauss they still might drop one, but apparently priority was 26.4 getting out the door. if they do it's might be like in between 26.5b2 and 3 or something weird like that

@ppb1701 That they’ve already released 18.7.3 for phones that can’t upgrade to 26 but nothing for those that can does not bode well, alas. “Upgrade to 26” is the current recommendation, which just happens to suit their interests (and not mine).

@gknauss nope that doesn't bode well. I do think they will eventually patch it...but it does seem more like they wanna say. "Sure it's patched, do the update to 26"

@ppb1701 @gknauss They did already patch it, then pulled the release from availability for phones that can run 26. There were a few days when you could still get 18.7.3 RC via the beta channel. They are intentionally exposing their customers to harms caused by their own past negligence, in order to promote a new product. Should be illegal.
