Possible Last iPhone Update For Those Avoiding iOS 26.2
Apple is about to release the next major software for the iPhone, iOS 26.2. But for users who aren’t quite ready to more to the new software cycle, Apple is also preparing an alternative, iOS 18.7.3. Here’s what it means and why it is likely to be the last chance to avoid iOS 26 without compromising your iPhone.

When Apple launched iOS 26 in September, it also released an iOS 18 update so those who wanted to let the all-new software cycle settle in could still stay up to date with bug fixes and security.
This trick was repeated when the next two updates, iOS 26.0.1 and iOS 26.1 appeared. But many had thought that the most recent iOS 18 version, iOS 18.7.2, would be the last that Apple would provide to those with iPhones capable of running the new cycle of software.
It then became apparent that Apple was working on another iOS 18 update, iOS 18.7.3. Of course, it was pointed out, this could be released only for iPhones that couldn’t support iOS 26. There are three phones that are compatible with iOS 18 but not iOS 26: iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR.
However, beta testers have now reported that iOS 18.7.3 is running on iPhones that are compatible with the latest software, too.
Unless something major changes, this means that when the general release comes, it will offer another chance — probably the last chance if Apple follows the format of previous years — for iPhone users to hold off on iOS 26.
If you’re not a fan of the new Liquid Glass design, for instance, you may want to cleave to iOS 18 for that big longer, though it’s true that new features and better security await in the iOS 26. The next iOS 26 release, iOS 26.2, is imminent, most likely on Monday, Dec. 15.
So, when will iOS 18.7.3 be available? Probably on or around the same day as iOS 26.2, but note that the last iOS 18 update came 72 hours after the iOS 26.1 update.
More details as they emerge.

The government has decided to establish Pakistan’s first Pakistan Council of Digital Economy as part of its efforts to strengthen the country’s expanding digital sector.
The initiative is aimed at creating an institutional framework to support digital businesses and accelerate the growth of the digital economy.
According to official sources, the Pakistan Digital Authority is preparing to form a separate council for digital businesses, structured on the lines of a chamber of commerce. The proposed council is expected to act as a formal platform representing digital companies operating across different segments of the economy.
The Prime Minister is expected to inaugurate the Pakistan Council of Digital Economy once the initial framework is finalized. The main objective of the council will be to bring digital companies together on a single platform to address common challenges and opportunities within the sector.
The council will facilitate coordination between the government and private digital companies, focusing on consultations related to online business issues, regulatory frameworks, taxation, and policy development. Through this platform, private sector input will be incorporated into decision-making processes related to the digital economy.
Officials said the Pakistan Digital Authority has already held consultations with around 40 private digital companies. The move is intended to ensure greater private sector participation in promoting the digital economy and to create a more supportive environment for digital innovation and investment in Pakistan.
