Even in unpredictable times, there are things you can count on. For my eighteenth year in a row, here I am to say: iPhone Backup Extractor fully supports the incoming Apple software updates: iOS 26 and iPadOS 26.

A number of users have reached out to say our guidance on downgrading a backup’s iOS version to support rollback to a downgraded phone still works for transitioning from iOS 26 down to 18. We’re proud to have stayed on top of iOS so long, and we don’t plan to stop.

As ever, thanks for your support and for joining us on iPhone Backup Extractor’s journey.
