Apple released a new version of iOS for iPhone 11 and later on Dec. 12, alongside a slate of security updates for older iPhones and other devices, warning that one of the patched flaws could allow attackers to take control of a device by tricking users into opening malicious web content.
The update, iOS 26.2, addresses dozens of security vulnerabilities across core parts of Apple’s mobile operating system. Apple stated that it is aware that at least one of the flaws may already have been exploited in a highly targeted attack.
