Apple Releases Rare iOS 12 Update To Address Security Flaw On Older iPhones, iPads (engadget.com) 22

Apple has released an iOS 12 update users of older iPhone and iPad devices should download as soon as possible. Engadget reports: The new version of the company's 2018 operating system addresses a major vulnerability that Apple recently patched within iOS 15. According to a support document, the WebKit flaw could have allowed a website to run malicious code on your device. In its usual terse manner, Apple notes it is "aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited."

For that reason, you should download the update as soon as possible if you're still using an iOS 12 device. That's a list that includes the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, as well as iPad Air, iPad mini 2 and iPad mini 3. You can download iOS 12.5.6 by opening the Settings app, tapping on "General" and then selecting "Software Update."
