Title: Apple releases rare iOS 12 update to address security flaw on older iPhones and iPads Post by: HCK on September 01, 2022, 04:05:04 pm Apple releases rare iOS 12 update to address security flaw on older iPhones and iPads
<p>Apple has released an iOS 12 update users of older iPhone and iPad devices should download as soon as possible. The new version of the company’s 2018 operating system (https://www.engadget.com/2018-09-20-apple-ios-12-review.html) addresses a major vulnerability that Apple recently patched within iOS 15. According to a support document (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213428), the WebKit flaw could have allowed a website to run malicious code on your device. In its usual terse manner, Apple notes it is “aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited.”</p><p>For that reason, you should download the update as soon as possible if you’re still using an iOS 12 device. That’s a list that includes the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, as well as iPad Air, iPad mini 2 and iPad mini 3. You can download iOS 12.5.6 by opening the Settings app, tapping on “General” and then selecting “Software Update.”</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span> Source: Apple releases rare iOS 12 update to address security flaw on older iPhones and iPads (https://www.engadget.com/apple-releases-ios-12-5-6-security-flaw-194911468.html?src=rss) |
