While I do know they support older devices better than some others, the article said anything 18 and below is vulnerable. Some of the latest updates in your linked page are only up to 16.7.14.
Edit. I’m also not suggesting they must support 16 year old devices. Only that it would be the right thing here. Not expected, though.

If the new version targets more devices I’d expect them to release similar updates.
Edit: I’m not sure if that’s the relevant DarkSword CVE but it is the one for the latest security update. https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/mobile/2026/03/a-darksword-hangs-over-unpatched-iphones claims DarkSword only affects 18.4 through 18.7 (and of course 26.0 until 26.3), and https://www.pcmag.com/news/update-your-iphone-now-new-darksword-hack-targets-older-ios-18-versions claims it was patched in 18.7.6 (whose security disclosure has not been published).
