Overview

  • Apple also rolled out iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and HomePod 26.3 updates focused on stability and bug fixes.
  • iOS and iPadOS 26.3 address roughly three dozen vulnerabilities, with Apple citing a dyld memory‑corruption issue that may have been exploited against specific individuals before iOS 26.
  • A built‑in Transfer to Android workflow now moves photos, messages, notes, apps, passwords, and phone numbers during setup or from Settings, excluding health data, protected items, and Bluetooth‑paired devices.
  • EU‑only interoperability features include notification forwarding to a single third‑party wearable at a time and proximity pairing for accessories such as headphones and smartwatches.
  • A new Limit Precise Location toggle appears on devices with Apple C1/C1X modems, initially supported by Boost Mobile (US), EE and BT (UK), Telekom (Germany), and AIS and True (Thailand).
