Two days ago, news articles were reporting that AMD processors were not affected these “flaws”. Has new information been discovered in the last day or so?

No worries. The batteries in my Apple devices are all dead and I’m not logged on.

All Mac systems and iOS devices are affected, but there are no known exploits impacting customers at this time

There's a contradictory weasel corporate statement if ever there was one.

So, how am I supposed to find out what kind of processor is in my iPad?

It’s fairly straightforward on any of my PC devices to open up the control panel and see exactly what hardware is installed, as well as the version of drivers, etc. But I’ve no idea how to do that on Mac devices. (Which is why, other than the iPad, I never use Mac: they are not user friendly for people who like to look in the “guts” of the machine.)

On a related note, I downloaded the latest OS update a couple of days ago. Now I find that the iPad wants to set up functions that I do not want, and it is giving me no option to tell those functions to go away and stop bothering me. So whenever I go to use it, I have to tell it to cancel the set-up. Arggh.
