The reason Apple pushed out IOS 12.4.7 on May 20, 2020, is to support those 
devices that Apple still supports but which don't support IOS 13. The following 
page says that IOS 12.4.7 is available for iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, 
iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, and iPod touch 6th generation. The iPhone 
XS is not listed. The only version of IOS listed for the XS is IOS 13.
