    Yet another zero-click zero-day giving full control over Apple's iPhone. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/apple/apple-fixes-new-zero-day-used-in-attacks-against-iphones-macs/

    It used to be Apple added one zero day a month - now it's _two_ a month!
    *That's _10 TIMES MORE active exploits on the iPhone_ than Android*

    3 zero-days (CVE-2023-32434, CVE-2023-32435, CVE-2023-32439) in June
    3 more zero-days (CVE-2023-32409, CVE-2023-28204, CVE-2023-32373) in May
    2 zero-days (CVE-2023-28206 and CVE-2023-28205) in April
    and another WebKit zero-day (CVE-2023-23529) in February

    They provided iOS 15.7.8 too, so my old 7+ didn’t feel left out.

    Yep, for now though. I wonder how long Apple will keep providing
    updates for them. I remember when Apple released iOS v12.5.7 on
    1/23/2023 for even older iPhone models.

    What's no longer surprising is that Hemidactylus _thinks_ Apple updated his iPhone and yet Apple does not, will not, and has never updated older
    versions fully.

    He's just stupid.

    He believes his iPhone 7+ is fully updated - when it's not.

    It's impossible to fully update any iPhone older than an iPhone 8.

    I have an iPhone 13 and recent iPad dumbass. That the 7+ is still getting updates is worth mentioning. The mention of that carries more importance
    than your worthless loser ass. You are pond scum that winds up in a poorly maintained swimming pool people invited to parties surreptitiously
    defecated in at about 1:34am.

    What's no longer amazing is these people "think" Apple is fully updating
    these systems when even Apple says they only fully update iOS 16 and no
    other version whatsoever.

    Every other version other than iOS 16 is so full of holes, it's sad.
    Even iOS 16 has had _double_ the zero-day holes as in all last year.

    To own an iOS device is to be already exploited.

    Apple clearly DID update his iPhone, Arlen.

    That's a fact.

    He's just stupid.

    That's an opinion.

    This is a fact, whether or not you iIdiots are aware of what Apple does. https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/about-software-updates-depc4c80847a/

    Apple themselves say they have the shortest support cycle in the industry. Windows has the longest. Android is five times as long as is Apple support.

    That the 7+ is still getting
    updates is worth mentioning.

    It's no loner surprising how incredibly ignorant you iCrazies are.

    You do realize that Windows 8 "is still getting updates" also, Hemidactylus
    as is almost every Android phone ever manufactured, down to Android 4.4...

    No?

    You can call me "pond scum" simply for telling you the truth which Apple
    was _forced_ to document because researchers were fed up with Apply lying
    to people like you Hemidactylus.

    Don't believe me?

    Read these...
    https://screenrant.com/apple-product-security-update-lifespan/ https://hothardware.com/news/apple-admits-only-fully-patches-security-flaws-in-latest-os-releases
    https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/10/apple-clarifies-security-update-policy-only-the-latest-oses-are-fully-patched/

    Oh, I see... you've never read a word about Apple so that's why you think
    Apple does not have the absolute _shortest_ lifecycle support on computers.

    The mention of that carries more importance
    than your worthless loser ass. You are pond scum that winds up in a poorly maintained swimming pool people invited to parties surreptitiously
    defecated in at about 1:34am.

    The fact is that Apple only updates a single release.
    Which is the _worst_ release support in the entire computer industry.

    You don't like that fact.
    So you call me "pond scum" for telling you that fact.

    So be it. https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/about-software-updates-depc4c80847a/
