Apple Releases Rapid Security Response Updates for iOS 16.4.1 and macOS 13.3.1

[Choco Taco]

Though you still won't switch to android, right ? Stop complaining

You're the only one that has mentioned Android in this thread.

The wording of all this is really odd, is it not?

"Requesting Security Response"
"Preparing Security Response"

Apple is channelling Job's ghost:

Blasphemy!

 

[StuBeck]

I'm ready for iOS 17. Does anyone feel the same?

No, largely because these Updates seem to be back to the early 2010s where they decided testing was for lamewads.

Only Mac works

Ive got this turned off and yet it still appeared 🙃

You have automatic install turned off, not the notification for them.

Apparently someone has snuck in and replaced my iPhone with one running Windows because such an embarrassing total failure couldn't come from Apple......right?

Is that your first apple update in a long while ?

I got only Rapid Failure Response on iOS and iPadOS.

Wait, I need the INTERNET for this update? Stoopid Apple!

 

[nintendoswitch]

it won't install on iPhone 13 Pro or iPad 9th gen because "its not connected to the internet" which it is. its connected to wifi and cellular. however installed flawlessly on Mac.

 

[KPOM]

Won't instal for me on my iPhone or my iPad as it fails to verify "because you are enough longer connected to the internet" which is not the case.

Same here, though the macOS update worked for me.

How did u get that menu?

On the About screen there should be an info button

Wait, I need the INTERNET for this update? Stoopid Apple!

Only for iOS, Mac just reboots instantly

Looks like we need side-loading for Apple's own updates 😆

 

[machpost]

Wow, what a joke. This is not the company that it once was.

iOS 16 and bugs. Name a more iconic duo.

Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy, MSFT & day zero’s, Batman & Robin,..

Only in the EU mon ami.

Not very rapid if they take just as a long as a regular software update... lol

When it works, as it did in beta, it's a very small download and a reboot. It is actually pretty rapid.

 

[Strebor]

I can't even see the update. Has Apple pulled it?

Ah, found it.
It fails on iPhone Pro 14
It works on Macbook Pro

Rapid in the sense that they don't have to wait for a major release or have to do all of the much intense testing as a full ios release. The are targeting a small portion of iOS, where there isn't as much red tape to get things push out immediately instead of waiting to the next major release.

I got a notification three hours ago on my iPad, and it downloaded and installed automatically. I manually updated my iPad mini right after with no problems. Just updated my Studio and it was fast. I'm getting the unable to verify on my phone right now. I just clicked remind me later.

I'm in the EU 😘

Wow, it was so rapid that it was a response to something they can't even say yet. That's why it won't verify/install, it is trying to connect to the internet in the future. Apple is clairvoyant.View attachment 2196136

You actually can't. Apple stopped signing 16.4 on April 14th when 16.4.1 released.

Apple Stops Signing iOS 16.4 Following iOS 16.4.1 Release, Downgrading No Longer Possible

Following the launch of iOS 16.4.1 on April 7, Apple has stopped signing iOS 16.4, the previously available version of iOS. With iOS 16.4 no longer...

I feel like while I agree that the fact that the update is failing on iOS is ridiculous (and somewhat hilarious) - people definitely underestimate what it takes to run a large distributed service.

This is the first time Apple released an update like this. This is when they learn the hard lessons. It is how servicing works. It is not an indication of impeding doom - this could totally be a dependency issue too (as opposed to something that Apple did) as rapid updates were simply not released before like this.

All I am saying is - yes, this sucks but - no, this does not prove that Apple lost it.

I had high hopes for these updates. Sadly they turned into more stress than a full update.
