Update your iPhone NOW: Apple releases urgent security update with new iOS 17.3 that fixes 15 bugs

Apple is urging all iPhone users to download the latest iOS 17 update after the tech giant found 15 security issues that may have exposed users' sensitive data.

The tech giant rolled out iOS 17.3 on Monday with several features and bug fixes.

One of the exploits was discovered in Mail Search, where third-party apps could access information, and another in Safari that may have let the user's private browsing activity be visible in Settings.

The updated software is not all doom and gloom as iOS 17.3 includes the new Stolen Device protection, which promises to prevent cybercriminals from locking iPhone users out of their accounts in the event a smartphone is stolen.

iOS updates used to be improvements over existing versions. Anymore it seems the later the os version the more problems it has.

They usually seem to push the updates at the same time. I tell the iPad and phone to update, but the watch seems to do it all by itself.

I don’t trust anyone with Big Gov ties anymore, which includes Apple…especially when they start pestering me to do something, eg., get the CoVID vax.

I can tell you I switched from windows to Mac about 14 years ago and an iPhone before that.

I have never had a virus - and use no virus protection.

Things just work.
Updates work.

I’m no longer an unpaid tech worker for MSFT..

Life is good.
