iOS 12.5.6 was released on a week ago.
iOS 15 will be getting patches even if iOS 14 and 13 don't.
- lapcat 4y agoI don't know why Apple patched that 1 bug in iOS 12. But they didn't patch it in iOS 14 or 13. Moreover, iOS 14 hasn't received any security updates since October, and other than that 1 bug, neither iOS 13 nor iOS 12 have received security updates in an even longer time. You're treating the exception (12.5.6) as if it's the rule, but it's not.
- Pulcinella 4y agoI believe any device that supported iOS13 supports up to iOS15, so apple probably figures people can just update to 15 and get the fix there.
- Jtsummers 4y agoCorrect, anything that can run iOS 13 can run 15. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone C-f for "Supported OS release" and there's a chart showing which devices support which OS. 12 was "sticky" in that it was the last one supporting the 5S and 6. 15 will be similarly sticky given the range of devices (6S/SE(2016)/7) that will be stuck with it and will probably get several more years of security updates as a result.
