"Critical Updates: iOS 16.7 and macOS 13.6 Patch Exploited Vulnerabilities"

Apple has released iOS 16.7 and iPadOS 16.7, providing updates for older devices that cannot be upgraded to the latest iOS 17. This allows users to wait before upgrading while still receiving important security updates. The update covers devices such as the iPhone 8, iPhone X, and first-gen iPad Pro. Newer devices will likely have to upgrade to iOS 17 in the coming months to continue receiving security fixes, while iOS 16 updates will support older devices for at least another year. Apple's update timelines and plans for future updates remain undisclosed.
