Apple releases new versions of iPados for older models with critical security updates

Apple has released iPads 17.7.8. This is a critical security bug fix release targeting iPad models that are too old to update to iOS 18. The new release is a follow-up to iPados 17.7.7.

iPads 17.7.8 can be installed on 2017 iPad Pro (10.5-inch and 12.9-inch) and 2018 iPad (6th generation).

It is recommended that you install the operating system as soon as possible, as it includes a built-in scope of fixes for various security vulnerabilities. This includes changes to deal with memory corruption, accessing sensitive data on disk, and more.
