Overview

  • iOS and iPadOS 26.3 are available now as over‑the‑air updates and IPSW downloads, alongside 26.3 releases for macOS, watchOS, tvOS and visionOS.
  • Apple’s security notes list roughly 35–37 fixes on iPhone and iPad, including a dyld vulnerability reported as exploited against specific individuals on pre‑iOS 26 versions.
  • A built‑in Transfer to Android tool moves photos, messages, apps, passwords, phone numbers and more, with exclusions such as health data, Bluetooth‑paired devices and protected items.
  • EU‑only changes enable notification forwarding to one third‑party accessory at a time and AirPods‑style proximity pairing for third‑party devices, with Apple Watch notifications disabled when forwarding is enabled.
  • A new Limit Precise Location toggle reduces location accuracy shared with cellular networks on devices with Apple’s C1/C1X modems, currently supported by select carriers including Boost Mobile (US), EE/BT (UK), Telekom (Germany) and AIS/True (Thailand).
