Apple released iOS 26.5.2, iPadOS 26.5.2 and macOS Tahoe 26.5.2 on June 29, 2026, with security fixes for vulnerabilities tied to the kernel, WebKit and WebRTC. Apple says these fixes were first made available through the iOS 26.6, iPadOS 26.6 and macOS Tahoe 26.6 betas before being pushed out early to everyone. Apple pushed out security fixes early because AI can help hackers study software flaws faster. Apple reportedly accelerated the updates because artificial intelligence can help speed the creation of malicious hacking tools. Apple said there was no evidence that the newly patched vulnerabilities had been exploited. Still, the company wanted to shrink the time between when fixes were first visible and when they reached your devices. Apple's iOS 26.5.2 and iPadOS 26.5.2 notes list fixes for iPhone 11 and later, along with several supported iPad models. The security content includes kernel vulnerabilities that could let an app crash the system, corrupt kernel memory or leak sensitive kernel state. The update also fixes multiple WebKit issues involving malicious web content that could lead to crashes, memory corruption, data leaks or sandbox escapes. Apple also fixed WebRTC issues that could be triggered by malicious web content and lead to Safari or process crashes. For Mac, Apple lists macOS Tahoe 26.5.2 as the current release, and Safari 26.
