Apple has released a new software update today, but this is a bit special, as it targets older models that the company no longer supports, at least not with its latest iOS builds.
We’re talking about iOS 12.5.6, which is already rolling out for those iPhones and iPads stuck on the iOS 12 branch, including iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, original iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, and even the iPod sixth generation touch.
The build number of the new update is 16H71 and addresses a security vulnerability in WebKit that leads to arbitrary code execution, and Apple says it is “aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited.”
It goes without saying that this is definitely an update that we recommend that you download and install as soon as possible, if you happen to still have one of the aforementioned older devices. It’s a 275MB download and you should have already been notified to get it. If not, you can always go to Settings> General> Software Update to get it.
