  • Hundreds of iPhones at risk as iOS 26 fixes lag; urged to reboot and update
    January 16, 2026, 7:00 AM EST. Apple warns that iPhone attackers are active and has released fixes tied to iOS 26. The risk is widespread: analysts estimate hundreds of millions of devices may still run older software. Apple's guidance is to update to iOS 26.2 or iOS 18.7.3; if not possible, perform a shutdown or a forced restart to purge spyware. About 50% of eligible iPhone users had not upgraded, raising urgency. Data from StatCounter, Ars Technica, and Mashable show divergent adoption rates, aided by a Safari fingerprinting issue that can misreport OS versions. Observers say periodic reboots may be prudent for holdouts until the fixes land universally; Apple has not yet clarified upgrade metrics.
