i just love how Apple issue fixes. Android will wait to see it. That's if android phone get updated.
Anybody know the current state of Apple's QUIC efforts WRT 14.4+ ?
I suspect Apple will Drag its Heals, simply because the company's Apple Arcade competition, Stadia, Luna, xCloud, & FB Cloud, are ALL over it.
Their custom Client-side QUIC implementations will Rule the Day early on.
And nothing Apple can do about it ...
But, Apple "could" surprise, they could simply accept it & move forward.
IMO, other than Qualcomm's x60 chip, improved cellular back-end infrastructure, & Wi-Fi 6E technology (which adds support for 6 GHz wireless spectrum), HPPT/3 (which incorporates QUIC) is probably the most-important thing in Tech this year.
Anything on the state of Apple's QUIC is much appreciated.
Would NOT be surprised if certain, UN-announced features & capabilities, are released in each recent iOS update, including 14.4.1.

Seems like an important fix, first time I update immediately in a long time. It seems like malicious code can be executed just by opening a site in Safari.
There is no additional information yet (also not in the NIST database), but the description in Apple's support document sure sounds like it. I don't think they would have released a new version for a single security issue if it wasn't serious.
Yes, update immediately. All browsers on iOS require Webkit use so it doesn't matter if you don't use Safari. Update.
Well, what ever the fix was my 11 sure got VERY warm during the update. Haven’t experienced that with an update in a long time.
Patience young one. 🙏😊😂
yea nothing apple can do about it, now that is a ignorant comment... some people.
Got excited because I thought this was iOS 14.5... I just want my Watch to unlock my iPhone 😭
ALL modern browsers are based off WebKit code so it’s not just iOS, macOS or iPadOS, it’s all computing systems
Same here. Mask mandates will be a thing of the past before we get that feature (working reliably) from Apple!
Security, security, security. Thats pretty much what you mostly here from Apple‘s Software Updates now.
