Updates will now appear more frequently for your iPhone, iPad or Mac

Between the major function updates, Apple is now delivering smaller updates, the so-called "quick security measures".

Apple announced the new update strategy at its WWDC 2022 developer conference and has been implementing it since 1 May 2023. From now on, bugs and security vulnerabilities in particular will no longer remain until the next major update. You will now have to carry out updates more frequently, which Apple does not call updates. In return, however, the download and installation time per process will be shorter.

Quick security measures between regular updates

Apple is not revealing exactly which errors the quick security measures fix or which security gaps they close. Unlike major updates with new functions, there are no release notes.

When I was but a young student, I'd sit in my friend's living room with all my classmates and play on his SuperNES. Since then I've had the opportunity to test out all the newest technology for you. I've done reviews at Curved, Computer Bild and Netzwelt, and have now arrived at Galaxus.de.
