Apple Releases iOS 12.5.4 to Block Security Vulnerabilities in Older iOS Devices

   Josh Centers

   In a continued show of support for iOS devices that cannot update to
   iOS 14, Apple has released [1]iOS 12.5.4 for older iPhones and iPads.
   They include the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, iPad
   mini 2, iPad mini 3, and iPod touch (6th generation).

   We recommend updating very soon because it includes important
   [2]security updates to fix a couple of WebKit vulnerabilities that
   Apple says are actively being exploited in the wild. You can install
   the iOS 12.5.4 update in Settings > General > Software Update.
