Apple will still provide updates for older operating systems like iOS 18 and macOS Sonoma, even after iOS 26 is released.

Even if you don't jump to iOS 26, your iPhone and Mac aren't left behind.
Users who have not or cannot update to the newest software version will continue to receive key fixes and security improvements. As a result, their gadgets remain secure, reliable, and functional for a longer period. This is also beneficial to users who utilize older iPhones or Macs as backup devices because they do not feel abandoned.
