I have an iPhone SE that I didn't update to the latest #LiquidAss yet, it's still on iOS 18.7.1
But now there are important security updates and Apple is forcing me to update. They released a new 18.7.x but my phone model is apparently not allowed to install this update.
WTF.

@compfu I'm pretty sure they don't do cumulative incremental updates. I think I've had to install multiple updates in a row on work phones

@anakin78z Apple really pulled the plug and allows the installation of the latest security updates in the 18.7.x line only for phones that can't run iOS 26: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2025/12/19/ios-1873-which-iphones-can-run-apples-critical-new-update/
