Will Apple push an emergency iPhone update in 2026 to fix an active attack?

About

Apple sometimes ships rushed iPhone updates labeled "this issue may have been actively exploited". Will at least one such update be released in 2026?

Resolution criteria

YES if Apple releases at least one iOS security update during 2026 whose release notes use language like "may have been actively exploited" or "Apple is aware of a report".
