Maybe you didn’t catch this yet, but Apple pulled their latest iOS 18.7.3 update and they seem to only promote iOS 26 now. They really want everyone off iOS 18 :/

They don't allow you to upgrade to iOS 18.7.3 if your device supports iOS 26.
You can sign up for Apple beta and keep doing iOS 18 updates.
There are many reports that since around Christmas day, you can not do this any more on phones that support iOS 26. Updating to iOS 26 is the only option now.
I may suggest the other option is to buy an iPhone not supporting iOS 26.

Not anymore. Tried this but the pulled 18.7.3 for beta upgrades too.
Nope, they don't sign iOS 18 updates anymore.
