Although the new update to iOS 15.6.1 is not as important as reports suggest, it is still wise to install it.
iOS 15.6.1 Released – What’s New?
Apple’s recent iOS 15.6. 1 release includes two high-profile security updates that address issues that could put your phone at risk. But the release has gone mainstream, and some reports have caused unnecessary panic among people who normally don’t pay attention to such things.
“I was also surprised how the media picked up on this particular update, when security updates like this happen every few months,” Marc-Étienne Léveillé, a malware researcher at digital security firm ESET, told Lifewire via email. “It was also picked up by local media here [in Canada].”
With the release of iOS 15.6. 1, Apple is addressing two specific issues, according to the security update notes: one related to WebKit, the other to the kernel. Both are important for similar reasons.
