The link says that iPad Air 2 and later are supported. Does this mean that the original iPad Air is vulnerable? There must be many of them still in use for Web browsing, video, games, etc.
- nicebill8 5y agoIf this is really critical, it would not be unprecedented if we were to see another iOS 12.x.x release.
- slownews45 5y agoFor sure - I've been impressed here on older device support. I've seen 7 year old devices getting updates - 5s etc?
- dogsgobork 5y agoFor anyone curious, Apple has release a few updates for iOS 12 since support for some devices was dropped with iOS 13, with 12.5.4 being released in June. The iPad Air mentioned above being a nearly 8 year old device. Are any Android devices of that vintage still receiving any updates?
- richardwhiuk 5y agoI don't think you can conclusively say either way. iPad Air 1st gen only supports iOS 12, which was patched 40 days ago. So either they haven't released a fix yet, or it's not vulnerable.
- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoIt goes both ways. If something is too old to get the fix, there is just as good a chance it’s too old to have the bug. Can’t say for sure that the exploitable code ever existed on that device. Like Win10 0-days not being an issue for Windows 7. But… Yea, I wouldn’t bet on it either way.
