Apple has rolled out a new wave of security updates for its operating systems, addressing critical vulnerabilities and improving system stability.

The latest updates include iOS 18.3.1, iPadOS 18.3.1, macOS Sequoia 15.3.1, watchOS 11.3.1, and visionOS 2.3.1.

What’s Included in the Update?

While this is a point release, meaning no major new features, Apple has confirmed that the updates contain important bug fixes and security enhancements. The company recommends all users update their devices immediately.

One of the key security fixes addresses a highly sophisticated exploit that may have been used against targeted individuals.

Apple has not provided specific details, but such security patches are typically aimed at preventing spyware or cyberattacks.

Affected Devices

These updates apply to a wide range of Apple devices, including:

  • iPhones and iPads (iOS 18.3.1 & iPadOS 18.3.1)
  • Mac computers (macOS Sequoia 15.3.1)
  • Apple Watches (watchOS 11.3.1)
  • Apple Vision Pro (visionOS 2.3.1)

Additionally, Apple has released iPadOS 17.7.5 for older iPads that are still supported.

How to Update Your Apple Device

Updating your device is easy:

  1. iPhone & iPad: Open Settings > General > Software Update, then tap Update Now.
  2. Mac: Go to System Settings > Software Update, then install the latest version.
  3. Apple Watch: Use the Watch app on your iPhone and navigate to General > Software Update.
  4. Vision Pro: Open Settings > General > Software Update on your headset.

What’s Next for Apple Software?

This update comes as Apple prepares to release iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and macOS Sequoia 15.4 in the coming weeks, which are expected to bring Siri improvements and other refinements.

If you haven’t updated your Apple device yet, now is the time to install these critical security fixes and stay protected from potential threats.
