Apple releases urgent iOS 26.5.2 security update for all iPhones

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Apple has released an unexpected security update, iOS 26.5.2, for all iPhones from the iPhone 11 onwards. The update, which contains approximately 30 security fixes deemed urgent, was pushed out earlier than planned. While there are no new features, users have noted significant variations in download size, ranging from under 1GB to over 27GB, and some initial reports of reduced battery life post-installation, a common occurrence with such updates.
