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

Good that they ditched the "Just works!"

 

[Jonathan Ribee]

Has the word "rapid" changed in definition between American and British English? Like sick being good now etc?

Not connected to the internet. This post has been sent via smoke signals 🔥 💨

That's quite rapid to have the updates in... 48 hours.

Yeah, and super secure to boot!

 

[Nutzloser]

Hey guys in Germany too …

 

[TAJones99]

I'm also getting the Unable to Verify Security Response- not connected to internet issue

 

[Edsel]

"...no longer connected to the internet".

Must be Apple's new security fix. Permanently disconnect your devices from the internet.

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

Several versions of iPhone OS/iOS and Mac OS X had install errors.
Sometimes when you’re pushing an update to 2000,000,000 devices at the same time, things can go wrong.
Most people do not update right away either, they wait for their phones to do it in the background, which usually happens days after they release.
As long as it’s fixed within the next 24 hours or so, it’s a non-issue.

Successfully installing the rapid update requires an in-app purchase.

Lol 😁

Apple ..

to boldly go where no one has gone before…

 

[Havoc035]

Mine failed due to no internet….which I clearly have

Same here.

 

[Radeon85]

Same no internet error in the UK on a 14 Pro Max, great job Apple 😆

 

[Edsel]

Sometimes code breaks.

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.

“ some might say, why should we trust them? They’re the ones that brought us MobileMe!” - Steve Jobs at WWDC 2011 when introducing iCloud.
And guess what? iCloud didn’t have the smoothest launch either.
And when it comes to cloud services, it’s not always necessarily Apple‘s fault. Servers are never perfect, ever. I don’t think there’s ever been an Internet company that just never goes down every once in a while, it’s just something that happens.

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

You really believe it will be any better? Same team (not the same individuals of course but the team overall), same leadership, same spirit.

Well, I shall consider myself super lucky then to have been able to install on the first attempt iOS 16.4.1 and all the versions before that, including various betas.

Why are people blaming Apple for their Internet failing? My Internet has failed too but I can still post here.

 

[Spidder]

What does this statement mean? It shows up for everybody, but if your device is not on the list yet, you cannot install it? Why? Why even show it, if you can’t install it? And why give the no internet connection error instead of „just wait pleb!“

Makes no sense…

 

[Blackbird1100]

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.

Getting the same error, I am connected to the internet.

 

[Wildkraut]

Sometimes code breaks.

And "sometimes" at Apple means more often.

 

[aries81]

Love how the same people who blindly buy anything Apple thrusts their way are the first to comment that "it's yet another failure by Apple"

Managed to get my late 2018 Mac mini updated. No dice on my iPhone Pro Max 13 or iPad Air 5 though.
