Apple has stated that they aren’t going to scan content on your/our devices. Rather, only when it goes up to the cloud. And they’ve delayed that implementation due to the public outcry.

Apple released iOS 15.6.1 on 8/17/22…

Is the iOS 15.6 1 update safe?

Apple has released iOS 15.6.1, along with a warning to now, because it fixes two security holes already being used to attack iPhones. The first issue fixed in iOS 15.6.1 is a vulnerability in the iPhone Kernel tracked as CVE-2022-32894 that could allow an application to execute code with kernel privileges.

I just updated this afternoon. Not seeing any problems.

And, (and I'm still not a fan of it, but...) they're not "looking" at your pictures to decide if they're porn or not, but they're comparing them with the digital footprint of existing child porn files and see if you have these.. And like you said, they're not even doing that yet.

On the other hand, Google seems to be doing exactly what people think Apple is planning to do:

Well I relented and updated my iMac four days ago. Next couple days my iPhone, since that it seems was the most critical update.

Babe wake up new MagSafe Charger Firmware just dropped!

I’ve got iOS 16.0.2 on my phone and honestly, I’d wait for 16.1 to be out if I was you.
Some nice but useless new features but buggy a.f.

iOS 16.0.2 and 16.0.3 are only for iPhone 14. The last stable release for iPhones in general was 15.7

What do you think, that I’m stupid?

I follow the iOS releases closely. What I said about 16.0.2 and 16.0.3 is true.

The reason I said “stable” release should be self evident. iOS 16 is once again a bug-riddled nightmare. 16.1 is nearing release for all phones. Only iPhones above 7 are still supported (that is, iPhones 6s and 7 are now EoL’d) iPads are still on 15.7.


I get my information from Forbes.
