Apple is gearing up for a busy September with two important iOS updates on the horizon. According to evidence spotted in MacRumors’ visitor logs, iOS 18.7 is on the way, and it will be one of the last updates for some of Apple’s older devices. Meanwhile, the highly anticipated iOS 26 is almost ready for public release after months of beta testing. iOS 18.7: A Farewell Update for Older iPhones iOS 18.7 is expected to roll out sometime in September and will primarily focus on security fixes and stability improvements rather than new features.

Apple’s highly anticipated iPhone 17 launch event is just around the corner — happening on September 9 — and excitement is building. This year’s lineup is rumored to bring one of the most significant changes in recent years: eSIM-only models going international. The eSIM Revolution: From the U.S. to the World Since the release of the iPhone 14, Apple has exclusively offered eSIM-only iPhones in the United States, eliminating the physical SIM tray. However, international models continued to include a physical SIM slot, and in China, Apple even supported dual physical SIM cards in a single device. Now, reports suggest that the iPhone 17 series — especially the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air — will make eSIM-only designs available worldwide. This move would free up internal space inside the phone, enabling Apple to deliver slimmer and more efficient devices. A global move to eSIM means more users than ever will be upgrading to new devices — and that’s where Smart Transfer steps in. Smart Transf...
