The iPhone 6S mentioned was released in 2015, but should run iOS 15, which Apple still should be releasing security updates for?
- garbagewoman 3y agoAs he clearly describes in the article, Apple seems to patch some exploits but not others in older versions of iOS.
- chrismeller 3y agoI understand that, I’m just saying that they claim it gets security updates, so it seems like the kind of thing they should include.
- jeroenhd 3y agoApple only publishes all iOS and macOS updates to the latest version of their operating systems. They release important updates to older operating systems (which is better than much of their competition!) but not all vulnerabilities are fixed for old versions. You'll probably always be safe from remote code execution on supported versions of iOS/macOS, but exploits like these aren't always fixed. Unfortunately, you can't install an alternative browser engine on iOS/iPadOS, so I guess you should expect all websites to be able to read all of your cookies just in case.
