Apple will launch the new iPhone 13 lineup today on an online event.
Traditionally, it’s also the day when the latest iOS version – iOS 15 in this case – also launched to all iPhone users.

Ivan Krstić, Head of Apple Security Engineering and Architecture, said in a statement, “After identifying the vulnerability used by this exploitation for iMessage, Apple was quickly developed and deployed improvement in iOS 14.8 to protect our users.
We want to praise the residents’ laboratories to successfully complete Very difficult work to get a sample of this exploitation so that we can develop this improvement quickly.
“Furthermore Krsti said that attacks as described are very sophisticated, the cost of millions of dollars to be developed, often have short shelf life, and are used to target certain individuals .
“While it means they are not a threat to the majority of our users, we continue to work tirelessly to defend all our customers, and we constantly add new protection to their devices and data,” he added.
iOS 14.8 Updates are available for iPhone 6s and newer, iPad Pro (all models), iPad Air 2 and newer, the 5th generation iPad and newer, iPad mini 4 and newer, and iPod touch (generation 7th).
