So while one waits, the system hacked and bank account drained. Yes, small chance of that happening until it does. Understand, we have already been living with this bad coding for awhile now. At some point the numbers will work against us.
Got a tip for us?

PSA: Make Sure to Update, iOS 16.6.1 and macOS 13.5.2 Address Actively Exploited Vulnerability
- Thread starter MacRumors

- Sort by reaction score
Essentially this exploit gives the exploiter a significant amount of access to the data on your iPhone, including notes, messages, email, wallet, etc. The exploit itself doesn't require you, the attacked individual, to do anything at all. You would just receive a text via iMessage, not even have to open it, and voila you're compromised.
Anyone have non Apple replacement parts, like a battery, and are unable to update? I'm getting "Unable to Verify Update" on an iPhone 11 with a iFixIt replacement battery.
EDIT/UPDATE:
I ended up doing the update via Configurator which was a little scary because after the restart from the update the phone went into "Attempting data recovery". It finally restarted again with the update in place.

i've got a 2017 Windows PC which is still doing well.They got their Late 2013 iMac shortly after it was released, to replace a Windows XP Dell that was no longer getting updates to windows XP.
Their late 2013 iMac was slow as hell until I tore it apart and replaced HDD with SSD - I was surprised what a dramatic improvement that made, and it added years to its useful life. They were running the iMac almost 10 years - and would have happily kept doing so, if I didn't recommend m2 mac mini for them as a replacement. Zero chance a PC from 10 years ago would still have been around and usable.

My 2019 MBP i9 is sucking wind, quite frankly....
Interesting. So the analogy of handing your unlocked phone over to them is accurate?
What about information behind a Face ID lock?
But Apple forces all iOS web browsers to use safari engine.
anyone know if patched iOS or macOS will remove Pegasus, etc. in retrospect by themself if they had been infected before such patches, or will they only shut the doors for upcoming infections?
Pegasus has destroyed two of my ipm
Since 2019! 5 battery replacements nothing help!

Appears that Apple Weather on macOS can no longer use "My Location". Working fine on IOS.
I've probably just missed the setting - but it was working before this update. And it still works on specific named locations.

If I had to guess it is not yet.
It will be in the next beta update but the mad dash for a security update like this level is more about what is current production and beta is secondary.
You don’t remember the early days of the iPhone when there was a iOS update and EVERY ONE was trying to get it and your phone could be stuck on requesting update for up to 8 hrs or longer? I’ve seen in the past to get and update would take a couple hours easy..

That’s so they can slow down your phone’s so you can buy the new one’s coming out.. LOL seems like this time of year again. HAHA

I have 3 PC's running a K3S cluster that over a year and a half old, I hope that they make it to 10! Not likely, but it would be cool.
Updated my iPad9 and iPhone 13-mini, with no perceivable change in functionality/performance.
The Apple Pencil pairing issue I had post-update seems to have cleared itself up. Haven't noticed anything else yet.
