Apple has issued iOS 15.4.1, along with a warning to update now. That’s because iOS 15.4.1 comes with a single security fix for a major issue that is already being used by adversaries to attack iPhones
many people had complained about since updating to iOS 15.4. It’s not security related, but running out of battery is an emergency too for the many iPhone users affected by this problem.fixing two Mac security issues in Apple AVD and Intel Graphics Driver.There’s no doubt the issue is serious, which makes it important to update your iPhone as soon as you can. What we don’t know is, how widely the issue fixed in iOS 15.4.1 is being used—or whether it is a targeted attack against a specific group.
Another reason it’s important to update to iOS 15.4.1 is, Apple was updating phones on iOS 14 with important security fixes. For the last few updates, this has not been the case—if you avoid updating your iPhone, you are leaving it open to attack. This is even worse when the issue is being exploited as it is in iOS 15.4.1.
In addition, says Wright, be careful about the apps you install—and only install them if you actually intend on using them. “Pay attention to user reviews and permissions to help assess the validity of the app. For example, a flashlight app shouldn’t require permission to access your contacts.” You’ll need to update to iOS 15.4.1 manually, as Apple doesn’t force automatic updates to iPhones straight away. You know what to do—go to Settings > General > Software Update as soon as you get the chance, and update to iOS 15.4.1 to keep your iPhone safe.
