Millions of iPhones became ‘dangerous’ this week – but you can fix it in seconds

APPLE has issued a brand new update for iPhones – and that means you need to act urgently.

That’s because the new iOS 16.3 update fixes security flaws that you shouldn’t just ignore.

Every time a new iOS patch comes out, your un-updated iPhone is technically considered “at risk”.

That’s because there are security holes that you haven’t installed the fixes for yet.

It’s a bit like someone finally installing a lock on your door, but you haven’t turned the key to actually lock it yet.

Until you do, your device (and its info) may be in danger.

Apple’s security pages reveal that the iOS 16.3 update – which arrived earlier this week – fixes several flaws.

One Apple note reads: “An app may be able to access user-sensitive data.”

Another more serious issue notes: “An app may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.”

That could potentially allow a hacker to take control of your device.
