The latest updates should be the last ones before Apple releases new OS versions later this month.
iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac users now have one more update to install before new versions of the respective operating systems are unveiled later this month. Just days ahead of its 2023 launch event on September 12, Apple has released a new round of bug-fixing updates for its core products.
For iPhone and iPad users, iOS 16.6.1 and iPadOS 16.6.1 are now available to be installed on the iPhone 8 and later, all models of the iPad Pro, the iPad Air 3rd generation and later, the iPad 5th generation and later, and the iPad mini 5th generation and later.
This update fixes two different vulnerabilities. One affects the ImageIO framework, which lets apps read and write different types of files. The flaw would have allowed the processing of a „maliciously crafted image“ to trigger arbitrary code execution, meaning the bad guys could have taken control of your device.
