Apple has expanded the availability of iOS 18 security updates to protect more iPhone users against the actively exploited DarkSword exploit kit. The move allows additional devices running iOS 18 to receive critical security patches that were previously limited to newer iPhone models.
The DarkSword exploit kit is currently being used in active attacks against iOS devices, making this security update expansion particularly urgent. Apple's decision to broaden patch availability suggests the threat poses significant risk to a wide range of iPhone users.
