I hope they release a version of these fixes on iOS 18 in a form installable on an iPhone 14; I've been trying to stay away from Liquid Glass until it's actually usable. I really don't want to be forced to upgrade, since Apple seems to have replaced UX testing with "just ship it," as has become standard in the industry.

While I'm really glad they've fixed a bunch of important security vulnerabilities, I'm really hoping they fixed the screen flickering issue [1] they introduced in macos 26. It has been driving me insane and even impacts my Studio Display. My work computer is locked to 15.7.3 and has no such issues with either the internal or external display (The same display flickers in 26).
Really wish Apple would get their software quality up from the gutter.
Careful if you're still on MacOS Sequoia, Apple has hidden Tahoe as a default under updates. If you click updated now it automatically upgrade you to Tahoe.

Why couldn't Apple patch the zero-day using their new Background Security Improvements pipeline?
Maybe they can fix Messages from bugging out all the time. Apple software has gone down the drain. I don’t want a million new features I just want the ones that make a phone a phone actually work 99.5% of the time

macOS was so buggy for me a few days ago that I updated my computer to the public beta. Boom, problem solved. So bizarre.

Now if they'd only fix—meaning remove—Liquid Glass and other nonsense that they've added, I could stop sticking to Sequoia..?

Now if they'd only fix the CarPlay issues, I really miss working navigation in my car.
I have called and opened tickets, and I keep hearing it'll be fixed real soon now.

Is there any word on whether these vulnerabilities were exploitable on devices with MIE[0]?

Were Sequoia and iOS 18 affected?
