Apple has launched an operating system (OS) update for old iPhone and iPad models that have not received updates. This OS is designed to protect users from the latest cyber threats.
The updates launched include iOS 16.7.15, iOS 15.8.7, and the equivalent version for iPadOS. Although it does not bring new features, Apple insists that this installation is highly recommended because it contains critical security fixes.
Some of the iPhone models that receive this update are the iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 6s. For tablets, this update will be received by users of the iPad mini 4 and the first generation iPad Pro.
This launch shows Apple's commitment to maintaining its long-standing hardware ecosystem. Users are advised to immediately check the device's settings menu to download and install this latest security OS.
This security measure comes amid a surge in reports of hacking on old OSs revealed by Google and iVerify. Both companies stated that there are hacking tools that can break into iPhones running iOS 13 to iOS 17.2.1.
Although Apple has not confirmed it directly, the update for this old device is suspected to be present to close the vulnerabilities found by both companies. This is the right step to protect loyal users of the Apple ecosystem.
The installation process can be done through the Software Update menu in the settings of each phone or tablet. If this update is not available, you need to wait until the update is completed by Apple.
