These were all patched shortly after iOS 17 was released, and all appear to affect both 16 and 17. Does that imply the researchers were holding onto them to see whether the vulnerabilities still existed in iOS 17?
- dimmke 3y agoNo because anybody could have gotten ahold of the release version of iOS 17 well before Monday when it was officially released. It was on the beta channel, which I believe anybody can opt into. Apple wouldn't wait to squeeze in a fix for a security exploit for a major marketing version update of their OS.
