iOS 26.3 and iPadOS 26.3

Juli Clover (iOS/iPadOS release notes, security, enterprise, developer):

According to Apple’s release notes, iOS 26.3 and iPadOS 26.3 include unspecified bug fixes and security updates, but there are a couple features that Apple didn’t highlight [link].

Andrew Cunningham:

Apple is adding a handful of iPhone features designed to make it easier to use third-party devices in Apple’s ecosystem.

Eric Slivka (Hacker News):

That vulnerability in the dyld dynamic link editor could allow for the execution of arbitrary code, and Apple says the bug may have been exploited in an “extremely sophisticated attack” against targeted individuals on versions of iOS before iOS 26.

Connor Jones (Hacker News):

Apple patched a zero-day vulnerability affecting every iOS version since 1.0, used in what the company calls an “extremely sophisticated attack” against targeted individuals.

Eric deRuiter:

iPad gets the same treatment as iPhones did on the last release with the 18 update being available only for the iPad 7th generation.

ktguru:

With iPadOS 26.3, when using iPad with Magic Keyboard, still seeing the bug that breaks “Show Links On Hover” in Safari.

Links still don’t display.

Jeff Johnson:

Does Instagram Reels make iOS 26.3 Safari freeze for anyone else?

Glad to see some rage finally, FINALLY being directed at the policy of cutting off security updates of previous releases to devices capable of the latest version.

Nobody seems upset about Microsoft gating Windows 10 security patches behind a Microsoft account, either.

These are excellent examples of regulators failing to understand and act on fundamental technology issues.
