IOS 17 and iPadOS 17 are the next expected versions of the software and Apple gave us a preview of what is coming at WWDC in June. This would continue through to the present day, although the version numbers have stayed in sync, with the latest ones being iOS 16 and iPadOS 16. Things changed significantly in iOS 11 in 2017 as it brought the first touch and gesture interface, allowing the first iPhone without a Home button–the iPhone X.Īnother major shift was with iOS 13 in 2019, as it marked the bifurcation of Apple’s mobile operating systems, with iPhones staying on iOS but the newly announced iPadOS powering the new iPads. Although these updates are rare, at least so far, and have applied only to iPhone and Mac, we can expect more in the future, offering users peace of mind and the fastest implementation possible.Steve Jobs holding the first iPhone at the launch in 2007.
This is another way that RSR lives up to the Rapid in its name. If necessary, the user can also remove the responses.” As Apple says, “Rapid Security Responses also don’t adhere to the managed software update delay however, because they apply only to the latest minor operating system version, if that minor operating system update is delayed, the response is also effectively delayed. And they work differently for someone who is an administrator managing when updates are applied. The RSR is a hugely important development from Apple, working across other platforms besides the iPhone. If there’s another security issue before the next major point update, iOS 16.6, is released, we could expect to see iOS 16.5.1 (a), for instance. So, since the most recent update before last week was iOS 16.5, which is not a minor OS version, an RSR wasn’t the way to go. The letter in parentheses signifies it’s an RSR. And indeed, last month saw the first iOS RSR, which was called iOS 16.4.1 (a). There’s one other factor here: they only apply to the latest minor operating system version, so they could work to modify something like iOS 16.4.1. That’s what Apple did, presumably because the camera adapter fix was also ready to be deployed.
So, it could have either released the security solutions on their own and come back to the camera adapter later or released them all together in a regular update. My understanding is that Apple has specifically set an RSR to deal exclusively with security fixes alone, and nothing else.
