Apple released a new software update today, but this one is a little different since it’s for older devices that the firm no longer supports—at least not with its most recent iOS releases.
The iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, original iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, and even the sixth-generation iPod touch are among the iPhones and iPads still running iOS 12.5.6, which is already being sent to them.
The new update’s build number is 16H71, and it fixes a security flaw in WebKit that might result in arbitrary code execution. According to Apple, this problem “may have been actively exploited,” thus the company is “aware of a report.”
Needless to say then, this is definitely an update that’s recommended to download and install as soon as possible, if you happen to still have one of the aforementioned older devices. It’s a 275MB download, and you should have already received the notification to get it. If not, you can always head to Settings > General > Software Update to grab it.
