Apple Fixed a Serious iPhone Flaw—But Most Phones Are Still Exposed

Overview
Apple fixed serious iPhone security flaws in December 2025, but most people still haven’t installed the update, many citing iOS 26’s new “Liquid Glass” design changes. That hesitation leaves many phones exposed, even though attackers are already exploiting these weaknesses through normal web activity.

Who Is At Risk
Anyone using an iPhone 11 or newer who has not upgraded to iOS 26.2 is most at risk.

What To Watch For
Your phone behaving oddly after browsing the web or using apps that rely on Safari, even if you didn’t click anything suspicious.

What to Do
Update your iPhone to iOS 26.2 as soon as possible to get the fixes and built-in protections Apple only provides in the newest version.
