Apple continues the long legacy of security flaws established during the BBS days.
Apple has released iOS 15.6.1, along with a warning to update
now, because it fixes two security holes already being used to
attack iPhones.
The first issue fixed in iOS 15.6.1 is a vulnerability in the
iPhone Kernel tracked as CVE-2022-32894 that could allow an
application to execute code with kernel privileges. “Apple is
aware of a report that this issue may have been actively
exploited,” the iPhone maker says on its support page.
The other issue patched in iOS 15.6.1 is a flaw in WebKit, the
browser engine that powers Safari, CVE-2022-32893, that could
allow arbitrary code execution. Apple says it believes attackers
have used it in real-life scenarios.
The iOS 15.6.1 upgrade “provides important security updates and
is recommended for all users,” Apple says in its release.
Apple’s iOS 15.6.1 comes just weeks after iOS 15.6, and is the
latest of multiple iOS fixes for already exploited issues this
year.

Update to iOS 15.6.1 as soon as you can
Apple doesn’t give any more details about the iPhone
vulnerabilities fixed in iOS 15.6.1, to avoid more attackers
getting hold of the details. But it goes without saying that
this update is a big one, and without information about who is a
target, the most sensible thing to do is update now.
“Apple iOS 15.6.1 is an important update,” says independent
security researcher Sean Wright. He says it’s possible the two vulnerabilities “could be chained together to allow attackers to
remotely gain full access to victims’ devices.”
Taking this into account, he recommends you update your iPhone
to iOS 15.6.1 as soon as possible.
I agree. Some people don’t like to update to iPhone versions
straight away to wait for any bugs to be ironed out. However, I
recommend you make an exception and update to iOS 15.6.1—issues
in the Kernel are about as bad as you can get, so it’s not worth
taking the risk.
So what are you waiting for? Go to your iPhone Settings >
General > Software Update and download and install iOS 15.6.1
now.

Given nobody spends _less_ than Apple in R&D, it's likely Apple spends
one hundred times more in marketing their products - than in testing them.
Apple spends more on R&D that all but 4-6 companies in the entire world.

Why is percentage R&D a good metric...
...Arlen?

R&D expentiure or percentage is not a good meaure of anything useful at
all. Loads of companies spend millions / billions of dollars and come
out with useless crap or go bankrupt (Microsoft probably a prime
example). Meanwhile a company wth zero R&D expenditure could come up
with a game-changing product and make billions of dollars virtually
over night.
However, intelligent knowledgeable people _do_ exist.

That's why Apple _never_ finds these huge security vulnerabilities which
are in their entire product line - and have been there for many years.
*Apple has _never_ tested its products sufficiently*, and the fact these
bugs are widely exploited in the wild on Mac, iPhone, and iPads is proof.

What Apple is, is no different than what Coca Cola is.
If you don't know how the marketing expenditure of Apple compares to
it's R&D expenditure and if you don't compare to other companies'
marketing & R&D expenditures, then you know _nothing_ about Apple.

Most people have some background in economics, e.g., most of us have at
least a half dozen classes in macro and micro in addition to marketing.

Most people don’t brag about classes they never took lacking such disconnect with truth telling.
Most people don’t spend hours every day trolling usenet over their unhealthy hatred of a smartphone OS and its users.
You are so brainless. So Android never has any security problems?
LMAO! All OSs have problems and need updating. A person
knowledgeable in technology would of course already know that.
Most people lack such classes in economics and marketing.
Arlen is a pathetic excuse of a human being.
