Summary
iOS 26.5.2, released June 29 for iPhone 17 models and iPhone Air, patches more than two dozen security flaws and is available now through Software Update.
Many of the fixes target malicious web-content vulnerabilities in WebKit, the browser engine behind Safari and other iOS browsers.
Anthropic's Claude AI was credited with helping discover one patched flaw—a potential memory-corruption exploit—marking a rare public role for an AI model in Apple's CVE disclosures.
