       RE: https://mastodon.social/@gmh/116300655531924498PLEASE if you're an average iOS user like me, and not super geeky, you need to read the excellent thread below. DO NOT UPGRADE to 26.4 if you can avoid it.RT: https://mastodon.social/users/gmh/statuses/116300655531924498

       @Jyoti Yes, but…There is a risk if you don’t upgrade - 26.4 includes a number of security fixes; and while none of the weaknesses have yet been exploited (as far as I’m aware), your data may be at risk if you don’t.Hopefully, if Apple support aren’t lying or misinformed, there should be a fix within days. I will certainly spread the word about it when I get the news.(Whether it’s a good thing or not is a different discussion - see https://www.openrightsgroup.org/publications/regulating-age-verification/ et al.)

       @gmh @Jyoti Just last week I was commenting on having security update decoupled from optional OS “feature” updatesHow many people would still be using some ancient OS if they only needed security?
