Question

Will iOS 18 security updates continue for iPhone 15 if I don't update to iOS 26?

Will there still be iOS 18 security updates for on iPhone 15 if I don't update to iOS 26? From what I've seen and heard I, there isn't much good to say about the new update, particularly for the boomer generation.

Yes, likely for a few more years.

But, chances are if you were still using iOS 16 or iOS 17, you would have not have updated to iOS 18 based on what you had "heard".
