Apple has released a minor update for the iPhone and iPad, iOS 26.4.1, enabling Stolen Device Protection by default. The update also resolves a glitch with iCloud syncing, which prevented changes made on one Apple device from syncing to another. Despite this, Apple recommends that any update addressing bugs, even unspecified ones, is usually worth applying. The latest update has no published CVE entries and no reportable security flaws.
