Apple is increasing its warnings about a series of exploits affecting iPhone and iPad users running outdated software.
As spotted by MacRumors, a “Critical Software” notification now appears on the lock screen of impacted iPhone and iPad devices. It warns those running iOS 17 or earlier to be aware of the possibility of an attack and to update to the latest version as soon as possible.
