Of course, Apple itself tends to stay quiet about the ifs and whys, but my guess is that the fix in iOS 16.6.1 was far too important to risk. It was a high-profile error, which led to the iPhone maker being red-faced-but my understanding is that Apple never wanted that sort of bad optics to happen again. That’s in theory, anyway.Ī couple of months ago, Apple issued a Rapid Security Response update that had to be retracted because the fix broke something else.
This new feature in iOS 16 sees Apple push security-only upgrades to your phone in an easy-to-download and install size to ensure you are always protected. Some of you might wonder why iOS 16.6.1 wasn’t released as a Rapid Security Response Update. “The exploit can be used by an attacker w/out the victim taking an action,” she added.“Here, the attacker can send the attack via iMessage & compromise device to spy/harm.” Why Wasn’t iOS 16.6.1 Released As A Rapid Security Response? “These exploits are usually used against folks with high threat models-people in the public eye, folks working in government, individuals being targeted or harassed by nation state actors, journalists,” security expert Rachel Tobac wrote in a tweet.
