Apple released iOS 26.5.2<\/a> on Monday, June 29, almost a month after launching iOS 26.5.1<\/a> to people with devices from the iPhone 17 lineup<\/a> or an iPhone Air<\/a>. Apple writes online that iOS 26.5.2 brings over two dozen security fixes to your device, and Anthropic’s Claude AI model helped find one of them.<\/p>\n

\"Tech <\/a> <\/p>\n

You can download iOS 26.5.2 now by going to Settings and tapping General. Next, select Software Update, tap Update Now and follow the prompts on your screen.<\/p>\n

Apple writes in the update’s release notes that this update offers security fixes, many of which are related to malicious web content vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n

A closer look at the update’s common vulnerabilities and exposures report shows that many of the patches address issues in WebKit, the engine that powers Safari and other third-party browsers on iOS. Anthropics’ AI model Claude<\/a> is credited for assisting in the discovery of one particular issue, which was related to a potential memory corruption exploit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That discovery is the latest development in a busy few months for Anthropic’s AI models. In April, the company delayed the release of its Claude Mythos model<\/a> to the public because its ability to find vulnerabilities represented a significant cybersecurity threat. It then released Fable 5 and Mythos 5 in June<\/a>, before taking them down about a week later<\/a> in the wake of government restrictions. Mythos 5 was then cleared for use on Friday, June 26<\/a>, though only for a group of select companies and agencies.<\/p>\n

As a result of that developing technology, we could start seeing Claude’s name appear more often on these CVE reports in the future.<\/p>\n

For more on iOS, here’s what to know about\u00a0iOS 27<\/a>\u00a0before its fall release and your cheat sheet for iOS 26<\/a>.<\/p>\n
