Apple has just released a Rapid Security Responses update for iOS 16.4.1 and macOS 13.3.1. These mid-cycle versions don’t offer new features but deliver “important security improvements between software updates.”
The Cupertino firm first tested these updates with iOS 16 beta and then with macOS beta, but it’s the first time these versions are out for real. According to Apple, they can bring improvements to the Safari web browser, the WebKit framework stack, or other critical system libraries. “They may also be used to mitigate some security issues more quickly, such as issues that might have been exploited or reported to exist in the wild.”
