Apple Offers iOS 18.7.7 Security Update as Alternative to iOS 26.4 Upgrade

To this retired USAF member it is: Ching Chuan Kang Air Base, a former USAF base in the Republic of China near Taichung, Taiwan. It is still an ROCAF base. :smiley:

The key text from Ric’s post:

Apple suggests possible workarounds, including freeing up more space on the device or deleting the update and re-downloading it.

If you still can’t install the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, try downloading the update again:

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap General.
  3. Tap [Device] Storage.
  4. Find the update in the list of apps.
  5. Tap the update, then tap Delete Update.
  6. Go to Settings.
  7. Tap General.
  8. Tap Software Update and download the latest update.

If you don’t see the update in the list of apps or if the issue happens again, you need to update your device using a Mac or using iTunes.

Aaargh. I capitulated and downgraded to 26.4. Had I been patient, I’d have been spared the idiotic translucent fonts, the wasted processing power needed to form those silly icons, and the disruption of my trusty iPhone screen. Aaargh, I say again.

I am unable to do the upgrade from the computer
it’s forcing me to use the actual phone
The computer tells me the phone is up to date at 18.7.2

I was able to do exactly one upgrade with the phone last year which was very cool. Alas, no more.

Off to delete some stuff I guess
