Initially released on March 24th for older models like the XS, XS Max, and XR, the update is now accessible to a wider range of devices. Users can check for the update by going to settings, general, software update. While Apple still recommends upgrading to iOS 26 for the best protection, iOS 18.7.7 is a crucial update for those who cant. The DarkSword toolkit, now available on GitHub, poses a significant threat, particularly to vulnerable phones in countries like Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Ukraine. To stay safe, users should either update to iOS 18.7.7 or enable Lockdown Mode.
