Apple Releases iOS 7.0.6 With Fix for SSL Connection Verification

Got it. However, in urgent cases like this I think they should not spend even a minute on updating beta versions as long as there are still vulnerable release products (OS X Mavericks) out there ...
Sure, not at the cost of publicly released products. However the team that would do it for Mac OS would be different than the one that would do it for iOS, so it's not likely one would interfere with the other. Let's hope they patch all of the affected software/products much sooner than later.
Yeah..it's like being handed a $20 bill...except a nickel at a time. If they take any longer bringing out .1 updates, they can start introducing new iPhone models with each .1 update.
I'm kinda of sick of people saying they were forced on to iOS 7. No you wern't, to get iOS 7 you had to go into settings and check to see if the current iOS you were running was up to date, then you were asked if you wanted to download iOS 7, then you were asked if you agreed to the T&C's, then you were asked to press install.
You all made a choice, that choice may have came back and bitten a few people but just because you can't go back on it then it doesn't mean that you wern't given a choice. The fact is that most people on here actually sat waiting for iOS 7 to be released despite some developers saying they wouldn't update straight away, some of you even went out of your way to become a developer to get BETA versions of iOS 7 and complained when it didn't run like a complete OS.

Yes, the tab issue. Except it's not when I have multiples open, Safari just crashes constantly to the home screen. I shouldn't have to install beta software to use my Air.
Well, if you want the fix for this huge security flaw, you're pretty well forced to iOS 7 now...
Seems like it affects iOS 6 as well since they even released an iOS 6 update to address it.
Yes, it does affect iOS 6.

VPN protects from the most likely exploit (in an unsecure Wifi network), but does not completely remove the vulnerability (since an attacker could in theory intercept your traffic after the VPN tunnel, i.e. between the VPN gateway and the server).
This bug will be fixed within days.
The article talks about iOS 6.1.6 being released to address this issue for devices that support it but don't support iOS 7. So in the case of iPhone 4 it would seem you are almost forced to go with iOS 7 to get this fix, which is kind of unfortunate for some I'm sure.
Wrong sir. If you have a device running iOS 6 but is capable of running iOS 7, your only choices are to update to iOS 7.0.6 or stay on whatever version of iOS 6 you are on and have this large security issue that was recently patched. People on iOS 6 with an iOS 7 capable device can't update to iOS 6.1.6. Apple won't allow it.
Only for devices that don't actually support iOS 7 (like 3GS) it would seem.

I just did a full iTunes, not an OTA update on my 5.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned it that the process helped reclaim about 200MB of "Other" space.
And it did turn on BT, like others have mentioned.

That's a good question. I want to give it careful consideration before giving you a final response. I was very pleased with iOS 5. It slowed my device down a little. The insanely great new features made the tradeoff a good one.
iOS 6 gave back the speed I enjoyed with OS 4.x. That device is protected as it is deemed worthy of 6.1.6. My iPad mini on the other hand is not. It may become a stay-at-home thin light portable wireless device.
The news of the SSL bug is fairly new to us unwashed. I will continue to check apple.com. If Cook issues a full page apology along with the ceremonial sacrificial head on a platter the answer will be obvious.
Absent that I guess we will need to determine that Maps was the most egregious thing ever to come from Apple. If Maps [which of course is flawless now] is the worst of the worst then I may have to conclude that iOS 6 lacked sufficient time in the oven.
Tomorrow is Monday and Steve's birthday. TC is a class act. February 24 is a good day to issue that apology. Waiting until the first business day of the week is only fair, don't you think?
I am primarily a Mac user and as such only one of TC's stepchildren. No patch for OS X presently.
Finally. Here I was reading all these comments about point release number semantics, not bricked phones, updating apps over wifi, and I'm going... Isn't this like a major security issue?
On page six someone bothered to outline the issue in one paragraph.
Thank you.
