Update to iOS 16.7.2 and iOS 15.8 soon! Major bugs fixed
The good news here is that Apple has not forgotten the existence of iPhone 6 series / iPhone 7 series / iPhone SE (1st generation), iPad Air 2 / iPad mini (4th generation) and even iPod touch (7th generation), and has recently pushed updates to them!
The bad news is that this update involves a fairly serious vulnerability, and according to reports, it is very likely that system devices prior to iOS 15.7 will be actively exploited (surprise). Therefore, everyone who sees this news, it is really recommended to back up your mobile phone as soon as possible and prepare for updates to avoid more serious security vulnerabilities!

This vulnerability numbered “CVE-2023-32434” isprevious newsIt seems that there have been corresponding iOS and iPadOS update patches in June. At that time, it was mainly responding to “an integer overflow vulnerability that affects the core of the operating system, allowing malicious programs to execute arbitrary code with core privileges.” However, the same number appears again in this patch. The situation of “An app may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges” has also appeared again.
It seems that such a vulnerability is indeed quite tricky, requiring Apple to correct it multiple times for users of older systems. Previous reports revealed that Kaspersky has disclosed that this vulnerability has been actively exploited. Therefore, it is highly recommended that everyone complete the iOS 16.7.2 and iOS 15.8 updates as soon as possible through the system update in the iOS / iPadOS settings.

iOS 17, announced at WWDC this year, not only significantly upgraded functions such as phone calls, FaceTime, and messaging, but also made AirDrop sharing easier, and also provided smarter input functions to improve typing speed and accuracy. In addition, iOS 17 also creates a new experience through “Log”. A new “StandBy” mode has also been launched, allowing users to view information at a glance while the iPhone is charging.
At the same time, since only iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone XR and iPhone XS and later models are confirmed to be supported, it is equivalent to announcing that iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and previous iPhone X models will not be able to upgrade to iOS 17. Fortunately, even if the device in your hand may not be able to enjoy the latest system features, it will at least receive subsequent security updates to keep iPhone/iPad away from malicious applications and attacks as much as possible.
