Summary

  • iOS 26.5.2, iPadOS 26.5.2 and macOS 26.5.2 rolled out on June 29 with security patches only, extending fixes to all users ahead of iOS 26.6’s public release.
  • Nearly 30 issues were addressed, with most of the changes tied to WebKit and other web technologies including WebRTC, alongside some kernel-related vulnerabilities.
  • Apple said the fixes had already appeared in iOS 26.6 betas, but pushed them into the 26.5.2 branch sooner as standalone security updates.
  • The release follows iOS 26.5.1, which targeted a charging bug on iPhone Air and iPhone 17 models, and comes as Apple readies iOS 27’s public beta in July.
