if you have avoided updating an iOS device because of some combination of hating the new UI or age verification nonsense, please be aware that a critical security patch has been back-ported to iOS 18 so you can install just the patch without a full upgrade. SCROLL DOWN on the Updates tab to find it, if it’s available to you.
@0xabad1dea Also worth reminding people that only the latest versions get all security fixes right away. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/11/psa-apple-isnt-actually-patching-all-the-security-holes-in-older-versions-of-macos/
