Probably worth doing

Without the geek talk the new iOS 18.0.1 and iPadOS 18.0.1 updates fix vulnerabilities that expose passwords and audio snippets to malicious hackers.

Not being offered 18+?

Note that if you haven't enabled automatic updates, you're not offered iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 (now 18.1) unless you go to your device's Settings > General > Software Update area and specifically choose to upgrade to it. (Apple suggests minor updates within a few days of their release, but not the major ones. You have to seek those out, at least on a manual update option.)

If you're device is not new enough to support 18, you won't see it there, either.
