I’m running macOS 18 and since I depend on dark mode, macOS 26 seems like a step backwards for my eye sensitivity.
So I’d like to stay on 18 for as long as it receives security updates and consider upgrade options some time later. Do the ISOs tend to remain available? Because my understanding is that when it comes to iOS, if you miss the last chance to upgrade, you’re stuck with whatever you have.


Thanks. I might download the ISO of the final point release and keep it on an external drive.
