The newest iPhone software release could be the last big update before Apple moves to the next-generation iOS 26. Here’s what’s in it.

Apple has rolled out what might be its final major update for its current software platforms ahead of its total overhaul across all devices this fall. The iOS 18.6 update has rolled out to iPhone users,

The release of iOS 18.6 is a big milestone—especially for older iPhones like the XS, XS Max, and XR. These models won’t support iOS 19, so this update is their final major upgrade. Here's how to install it.

Apple's iPhone 16 starts at $799, and the iPhone 16 Pro starts at $999. If the above report is accurate, the iPhone 17 could start at $849, the iPhone 17 Pro could start at $1,049, while the iPhone 17 Air (if real) is an entirely new model so it's harder to predict its price; we've previously heard that it would start at roughly $899.

According to a new investor note from Jefferies analyst Edison Lee, all four iPhone 17 models are expected to go up in price by around $50 compared to the iPhone 16 series. So if you were planning to pick up an iPhone 17 of some sort, you may want to start saving some extra cash.
