Apple warns iPhone users against cyber risks and urges iOS updates to patch two critical vulnerabilities on 11 January 2026. The California-based company behind iOS, iPhones, iPads, and Mac confirmed some iPhones were compromised, with a full fix still unavailable for some users.

Though iOS 26 has been available for almost four months, a 9to5Mac Global iOS version data report states that iOS users have yet to adopt the update. The report shows over 33% of users are still on iOS 18.7, while only 10.6% have already updated to iOS 26.1. These stats are far from the normal adoption of new iOS releases.
