Apple Launches iOS and iPadOS Updates for Older Devices
Apple is releasing updates for older iPhones and iPads that are no longer receiving support from the most recent versions of iOS and iPadOS. Here are the specifics.
### Apple Continuing to Provide Updates for Devices from 2015
As noted by Aaron Perris, Apple is launching:
– iOS 16.7.15
– iOS 15.8.7
– iPadOS 16.7.15
– iPadOS 15.8.7
The release notes don’t provide much information, adhering to the usual statement: “This update includes significant security fixes and is recommended for your iPhone.”
The updates are available for devices such as iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone SE (1st generation), iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPad (5th generation), iPad Pro (9.7-inch), iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (1st generation), and iPad mini 4.
While it’s always crucial to keep devices current, it’s particularly vital for older hardware when Apple issues a new update since it may carry essential security patches.
Recently, Google and iVerify released a report on hacking tools capable of infiltrating iPhones running iOS 13 through iOS 17.2.1. Although it’s not yet established whether today’s updates are connected to the vulnerabilities discussed in that report, it remains important to ensure that your device is operating on the latest available version.

Uncover 5 Crucial iPhone Camera Functions You May Be Unaware Of
iOS 26 brought fresh camera capabilities such as dual capture, Center Stage for the front-facing camera, and an option to disable “Swipe to Open Camera” on the Lock Screen. These features quickly became popular among fans, with many praising them online.
However, the iPhone camera has numerous functionalities that extend beyond what the average user typically employs. Though they may not receive as much promotion as the primary features, they are still valuable to explore. To help you begin, here are five lesser-known iPhone camera options that you may wish to experiment with. Some of these have existed for years, while others are fresh additions.
Capture videos in Photo mode

At times, when you’re set to capture a photo with your iPhone, you may suddenly wish to record a video instead. Usually, you would need to take your finger off the capture button to switch to Video mode before beginning to record. However, the iPhone has a smoother method to capture videos directly in Photo mode. To achieve this, simply long-press the capture button to initiate recording and release to cease. For longer videos, swipe right to lock the recording, allowing you to remove your finger from the button. With the recording locked, you can also take photos just like in Video mode; just press the smaller capture button on the right as many times as needed to secure your shots.
In addition to being practical during unexpected moments, this clever iPhone camera feature has another advantage: various video aspect ratios. By default, the Video mode uses a 16:9 aspect ratio, which cannot be altered. Conversely, the videos taken in Photo mode can be adjusted to any of the available ratios for photos. Before you start recording, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access the menu panel. Then, tap on Aspect to choose your desired ratio.
Although this iPhone camera technique is quite handy, it does have one drawback.
