iOS 15.7.5 Update for older iPhone and iPad models
Apple is releasing a new software update, called iOS 15.7.5, for older iPhones and iPads to improve their security. The update is designed to fix some problems that hackers may have used to attack the devices in the past. The focus of this update is on fixing issues with two specific parts of the devices' technology, called the IOSurface Accelerator and WebKit.
These patches will prevent bad websites and apps from running code that could harm the devices. Another update, called iOS 15.7.4, was also released recently and included similar security fixes.
Latest update focuses on securing the IOSurfaceAccelerator as well as its WebKit vulnerabilities in older iPhone and iPad models. These patches will prevent arbitrary code executions by maliciously designed web content and apps.
With the release of iOS 15.4, iPhone users can look forward to some exciting new features. Here's a breakdown of what's new:
1.Face Recognition with Mask - iPhone users can now unlock their phone even when wearing a mask. The algorithm uses the area around your eyes to recognize you, so it won't work with sunglasses.
2.Universal Control - This feature allows you to operate iPads and Macs with a single cursor and keyboard.
3.New Emojis Introduced - 37 new emojis and 75 skin tone variations are added in this new update.
4.Notes in iCloud Keychain - Adding notes alongside passwords becomes easy with this new update if you are managing your password using iCloud Keychain.
5.Apple Card Widget - This new widget will help you see your balance, your available funds, and your daily spending.
5.Turn Off Notifications for Personal Automations in Shortcuts - A new “Notify When Run” option in the Shortcuts app lets you toggle notifications for Shortcuts on or off.
6.Control Keyboard Brightness - Users can adjust the brightness of a keyboard (backlighting) connected to the iPad.
7.Passkey Website Sign-in - Users can log in to any website/app on Mac and iPad that allows authentication via Face ID or Touch ID directly from their iPhone instead of entering the password.
While these are the highlighted features, there are many other small features added in the iOS 15.4 update. Users can wait for the final version to get released or install the beta version right now to experience the new features.
In summary, iOS 15.4 brings many new features that will enhance the user experience, including the ability to unlock your phone with a mask on, operate iPads and Macs with a single cursor and keyboard, and adjust the brightness of a connected keyboard.
