Its a good idea to update your devices to the latest operating system 
versions if you can, and thats been amply demonstrated by Apple, with recent 
updates to iOS , iPadOS, macOS and visionOS patching a serious security 
vulnerability that might have been actively exploited in the wild.

web pages. In a support article describing the vulnerability , Apples update 
explains that Maliciously crafted web content may be able to break out of Web 
Content sandbox. 

The issue was fixed by addressing an out-of-bounds write issue with improved 
checks to prevent unauthorized actions.

sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals on versions of iOS 
before iOS 17.2 . That means its very important to update your devices to

Specifically, the patch can be found in the iOS 18.3.2 , macOS 15.3.2 , and 
visionOS 2.3.2 updates. According to Apples update webpage, the updates are 
supplementary patches to an issue that was fixed in iOS 17.2. 

Updating your devices is straightforward. To update macOS and iOS, open the 
Settings or System Settings app and go to General > Software Update > Update 
Now. Allow the update to finish  your device might restart a few times. 

This isn't the only change youll find in the iOS 18.3.2 update. It looks like

install this software patch, even if you had previously disabled the 
artificial intelligence system . Thatll be frustrating news if youve decided

the update. The only option on this screen is to select Continue, which 
enables the AI. If you want to disable it, youll then need to open the 
Settings app and go to Apple Intelligence & Siri, then turn off the toggle 
for Apple Intelligence. You might also like How to download iOS 18 on your
