iOS 17.3 and macOS Sonoma 14.3 Patch WebKit Vulnerability That May Have Been Exploited

[name99]

Glad it was patched. And 17.3 feels amazingly smooth in my 15PM.

I agree with the "amazingly smooth". My M2 iPad feels much zippier in a way that I can't quantify but is very obvious. Feels like apps launch faster, animations end faster, everything just feels smoother.

Why? Just gut feeling?

As someone who works in software in the enterprise space I’m pretty happy with how well Apple handles known CVEs (though I do wish they’d have a better bug bounty program). We have to meet compliance standards for patching at work and if Apple had the same reqs they’d be doing just fine as far as I can tell 🤷‍♂️

At the moment I’d rather have Apple’s QA than Boeings

OMG, please not. Given the bugs i experience with iOS on a daily basis, applying their QA to Boeing would mean airplane crahshes in a daily basis. If Apple applied the same scrutiny to iOS as the companies developing airplane software to their system software, There would be less bugs.

I really don't see the need for wallpaper to be part of it. If people want wallpaper, there's the web for it. I'd like to see a more useful release.

How does adding a wallpaper to a point update take away from the usefulness of it?

Have you been paying attention to Boeing lately? (or, really, since McDonnell Douglas took over after Boeing bought them)

Not that I want Apple to get into aviation, but it’d be nice if Boeing was getting better at it instead of the other direction

As if aviation software is bug free.

Good thing I waited until yesterday afternoon-evening to update my M1 MacBook Air and iPhone SE.
