I think iOS 18.7.3 , ipados 18.7.3 also covers this zero day WebKit vulnerabilities but that's for those devices who cannot update 26

so what's the affected app?

"The two zero day flaws are in WebKit, which is Apple’s own web browser engine and the core technology behind its Safari browser on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS

Other than fixing the two zero-day vulnerabilities, the new update also includes patches for over 20 security flaws.

These include vulnerabilities that allow threat actors to view photos in the hidden photos album without authentication, steal sensitive payment tokens and access password fields when remote controlling a device over Facetime.''

Wanted to update to iOS 18.7.3, but it is not available for selection for my iPhone 13 mini.

Understand the current workaround is to go via the Beta route.

I was also wondering why iOS 18.7.3 wasn’t available for my older model of iPhone despite being mentioned in the official press release by Apple

Actually iOS 18.7.3 is already available but it’s hidden under the “Beta Updates” option under Software Updates in your iOS / iPadOS.

Just turn on “Beta Updates” option and you’ll see iOS 18.7.3 available for download and install.

I believe Apple is trying to push users to upgrade to iOS 26 and hence hid the update option for iOS 18 under “Beta Updates” - The iOS 18.7.3 is actually the full release and not a beta version

Before being able to see the "Beta Updates" option, one needs to sign up for the Apple Beta Software Program.

https://beta.apple.com/faq

Later if you want to revert to regular updates, you need to unenroll from the Beta Program first. From my understanding.
