Apple used to make minor and patch releases available, but they've stopped doing that so as to increase Liquid Glass adoption. For that reason, iOS 18.7.5 is only available for the iPhone XS / XR series released. Very consumer-hostile behavior from Apple :(

FWIW I’m sticking with the less secure one that doesn’t look like Windows Vista.
