“Apple has now had sufficient time to iron out the issues, so the concerns about moving to a new major version of the iOS should be a lot less.” “Folks should look to update to iOS16 now,” says independent security researcher Sean Wright. The moral of the story is if your iPhone will support it, you need to update to iOS 16 as soon as you can. I asked Apple to comment on this story and will update my article if the firm responds. Therefore you need to apply one of these updates, or cut out the middle man and go straight to iOS 16.2 as soon as you can. While the flaw fixed in iOS 15.7.2 and iOS 16.1.2 was actively exploited against iOS versions before 15.1, there still must be a risk to other users. However, it only updated its support page this week with details of the patch. Now here’s for the really confusing bit-Apple issued the iOS 16.1.2 update a couple of weeks ago, fixing the very same issue. Apple says on its support page that it “is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited against versions of iOS released before iOS 15.1.” Tracked as CVE-2022-42856, the security issue in WebKit, which underpins Apple’s Safari browser, could lead to arbitrary code execution. But in the case of iOS 15.7.2, it’s important that you update straight away because it fixes a security flaw that is already being used in real-life attacks. I get it-you might be tempted to leave updating for a while to see if anyone else is getting bugs after upgrading to the new iOS version. iOS 15.7.2 and iOS 16.1.2 fix an already-exploited security flaw But this support was always going to be limited, and with iOS 15.7.2 being offered for older iPhones only, it appears time is up.
