The second round for iOS 26.3, iPadOS 26.3, watchOS 26.3, tvOS 26.3, visionOS 26.3, and macOS Tahoe 26.3 follows after the first, which landed on December 15, 2025.
Unusually, since the first beta, Apple has issued background security updates for them, outside the usual update flow. It remains to be seen whether this will continue with future builds, or if it is just a test.
