Apple has issued urgent iOS and watchOS updates spanning devices from the iPhone 5s to the latest models—such as iOS 26.2.1, 18.7.4, 16.7.13, 15.8.6, and 12.5.8—primarily to address reliability issues with emergency calls (notably impacting some older phones in Australia) and to extend certificates on legacy devices so iMessage, FaceTime, and activation continue working after January 2027; Apple Watch cellular models also received watchOS 26.2.1, and users are urged to update promptly via the standard software update settings.
