Apple has released iOS 12.5.8 and iPadOS 12.5.8 for older devices that can’t upgrade to newer OS versions. The update extends a key security certificate, ensuring services like iMessage, FaceTime and device activation continue working after January 2027. It’s available for devices including the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6/6 Plus, several older iPads and the 6th-gen iPod touch, and is recommended to keep essential features running smoothly.
