Never underestimate an operating system update from any mobile phone manufacturer. This week, Apple issued iOS 18.5 which provides enhancements to the user experience but also fixes bugs and flaws.
This update fixes over 30 security bugs. The sooner you update to the new version, the better from a security standpoint. The security flaws that the patch responds to includes known and unknown vulnerabilities and zero-days that may or may not be exploited in the wild.
If you haven’t updated to iOS 18.5, plug your phone in now and install it as soon as possible. Not only for the enhancements, but most importantly, for the bug fixes. If you don’t have your phone set to automatic installation, you may wish to add that feature in your setting, as that is a good way to stay on top of new releases in a timely manner.
