If you are still holding on to the iPhone 5s or iPhone 6 to save cash for the upcoming iPhone 14 lineup mobile phone or enjoy the Touch ID Home button, your iPhone is vulnerable to security threats. You don’t need to worry about this problem as long as you update the latest iOS security patch released by Apple for the old iPhone, iPad, and iPod. The latest iOS 12 version patching security threats that you don’t know. Apple, in Patch’s note, said that it was informed about this problem through tips that quoted vulnerability actively used by bad actors. In September 2021, Apple published an update of iOS 12.5.5 to solve similar problems.
Apple usually does not release any update for longer iOS software, but when that happens, possibly due to serious problems, so it’s good to take the time to update the handset. The security improvement brought by iOS 12.5.6 is the ability of an evil website to create PDFs and applications that run codes that are not checked on your mobile when opened in safari, chrome, or other web browsers. To download and install an update, open the settings application, select the general tab, then select the update software. If your cellphone does not have enough space for updates, consider deleting several applications, photos, or anything to delete some storage on the device.
This iOS update is also available for the iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, iPad Mini 2 and 3, and the sixth generation iPod Touch, so if you have it, update it now. Although this security warning does not need to be worried, installing it in the digital era of low data privacy so it is not always a good idea.
