Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

iPadOS 18.7.10, build 22H374, shipped on August 17, 2026 alongside iOS 18.7.10 on the same build number. Apple documents both under a single advisory. There is no separate iPadOS security document for this release, so the 122 CVEs across 44 components belong to the pair jointly and should be counted once, not twice, in any aggregate that totals the day's fixes.

One iPad is named in the entire document: the seventh-generation iPad. The device sentence is identical on all 97 vulnerability entries, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, iPad 7th generation, with no component scoped differently from any other. The same-day iPadOS 26.6.1 advisory begins its iPad coverage at the eighth-generation iPad and extends upward through the iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini lines. Taken together the two documents draw a hard line through the iPad range on a single day: the seventh-generation iPad is the last model held on the legacy train, and everything from the eighth generation forward has moved to the current one.

The advisory opens by stating that the update delivers security fixes that were, in Apple's phrasing, "first made available in the iOS 26.6 and 27 and iPadOS 26.6 and 27 betas." The current-train advisory for iPadOS 26.6.1 names only the iPadOS 27 betas. The legacy document reaches back one generation further, which puts a figure on the lag between a fix appearing in a beta and reaching a seventh-generation iPad. No entry in the document is described as actively exploited or exploited in the wild; those phrasings do not appear anywhere in the file.

iPadOS 18.7.10 shares one advisory with iOS 18.7.10

undocumentedreported

iPadOS 18.7.10 carries build 22H374, the same build string as iOS 18.7.10, and Apple publishes no separate iPadOS security document for it. The 122 distinct CVEs across 44 components in the shared advisory apply to both operating systems jointly and should contribute once to any aggregate CVE total for August 17, 2026.

Seventh-generation iPad is the only supported iPad

undocumentedcorroborated

The seventh-generation iPad is the only iPad named anywhere in the iPadOS 18.7.10 advisory, and the device line does not vary across any of the 97 entries. The same-day iPadOS 26.6.1 advisory starts at the eighth-generation iPad and covers the iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini lines above it. The two lists meet exactly at the seventh and eighth generation boundary.

iPadOS fixes traced to the 26.6 and 27 betas

undocumentedcorroborated

The shared advisory's opening sentence names the iOS 26.6 and 27 and iPadOS 26.6 and 27 betas as the origin of the fixes. The current-train iPadOS 26.6.1 advisory names only the iPadOS 27 betas. The legacy train draws from two beta generations against the current train's one, a direct indication of backport lag on the seventh-generation iPad.
