Apple Info for iPhone and iPad
Apple Info and more on post later in this thread
Apple Support https://www.apple.com/support/ IOS 6.1 info on last post iOS6 info iOS 6 is, of course, compatible with the iPhone 5, which goes on sale Friday; it can be also installed on last year's iPhone 4S, 2010's iPhone 4 and even the iPhone 3GS, now three years old. Also supported: the fourth and fifth generation iPod Touch, the iPad 2 and the Retina display iPad released in March. Not all models support all features, however. For instance, the iPhone 3GS may be able to run apps written for iOS 6, but it won't suddenly get access to Siri, which the Retina display iPad does. Outside the U.S., not all features are supported; Apple has information here about each feature by region.

3D Flyovers are one of the hallmark features of Apple's iOS 6 Maps, combining overhead images with three-dimensional geometry to allow users to view and interact with major cities in new and unique ways. But the 3D mapping data also has considerable flaws that led to distorted views of major landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Hoover Dam and other sites.
As Apple has caught flak for iOS 6 Maps, Google has not sat by idly. The company recently introduced new satellite imagery taken at a 45-degree angle to better compete with Flyover, while Google also made its popular Street View feature available in the Safari Web browser on iPhone and iPad. Google is also said to be working on a standalone Google Maps application that would be made available for download in the iOS App Store. However, that software is not expected to arrive until later this year at the earliest. |
Apple update 6.01 fixes
Apple on Thursday issued iOS 6.0.1 for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, a minor update that addresses a number of small bugs, including a screen glitch that would appear with the onscreen keyboard and an issue that would cause the camera flash to not go off. iOS 6.0.1 is now available to download through the system's Software Update, or through iTunes. The full list of changes included in the software, according to Apple, are:

Apple Releases iOS 6.1 With Fixes for More Than 20 Vulnerabilities
http://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/ap...ilities-012913 One of the key vulnerabilities fixed in iOS 6.1 is in the operating system's kernel and could enable an attacker to access kernel memory. The vulnerability was discovered by Mark Dowd of Azimuth Security, who presented it at the hack in the Box security conference last year. |
Apple promises fix for iOS 6 passcode exploit
Apple says a fix is on the way for the exploit that lets people gain access to certain data on locked iPhones. The fix will require a software update though. |
About iOS 6.1.2 Software Update
Fixes an Exchange calendar bug that could result in increased network activity and reduced battery life. |
About iOS 6.1.3 Software Update
This update contains improvements and bug fixes, including:
Apple has patched a handful of security vulnerabilities in iOS, including a bug that was used for the latest iPhone jailbreak tool, called Evasion. Apple iOS 6.1.3 has patches for six vulnerabilities, including the screen lock bypass bug and a flaw in WebKit that can be used to execute arbitrary code. The release of iOS 6.1.3 constitutes a major security update for iPhone, iPod and iPad users and it's one that most users should install as soon as they can. However, for those iPhone owners who have jailbroken their devices already, installing the update will undo that process and prevent users from rolling back to the older, jailbroken state. Perhaps the most serious vulnerability repaired in iOS 6.1.3 is the WebKit flaw, which can be used for remote code execution. "Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. An invalid cast issue existed in the handling of SVG files. This issue was addressed through improved type checking," Apple said in its advisory. In addition to that fix, Apple also included a patch for a known vulnerability in iOS that enables a user to bypass the PIN code lock to gain access to the device. "A logic issue existed in the handling of emergency calls from the lock screen. This issue was addressed through improved lock state management," Apple said. |

iOS 7. Definitely not the same as iOS 6.
"True simplicity is derived from so much more than just the absence of clutter and ornamentation – it’s about bringing order to complexity," Jony Ive, Apple’s senior vice president of design, said in a press statement. "iOS 7 is a clear representation of these goals. It has a whole new structure that is coherent and applied across the entire system." In terms of functionality, the biggest upgrade to iOS 7 may be iTunes Radio, a free service that – like Pandora – relies on algorithms to help generate a steady flow of songs. Apple isn't providing this service out of the goodness of its own heart, of course. Wired notes that you can use iTunes Radio to "buy any song directly from iTunes as it’s playing – at the top is a small button urging you to buy the song, and it displays the purchase price." All of this, of course, is a kind of prelude to the release, later this year, of a new, iOS 7-equipped iPhone. Apple hasn't released any details on its next phone, although smart money says it'll be called the iPhone 5S, and boast basically the same frame as the iPhone 5 (with a whole slew of upgraded innards). As for iPhone 4, 4S, and 5 users, they'll be able to upgrade to iOS 7 sometime this fall, according to Apple. Ditto for owners of any iPad generation two or above; the iPad mini and or the fifth generation iPod touch. http://www.csmonitor.com/var/ezflow_...n_full_238.jpg |

iOS 8.0 info coming soon
Apple enthusiasts have been poring over the feature list for iOS 8, due out this fall, geeking out over the tighter integration among all iOS devices, the improved mail app and myriad other bells and whistles. But perhaps the most important change is a subtle one hidden beneath the covers that will help prevent much of the tracking of mobile devices that’s done through WiFi hotspots. One of the key methods that retailers and other companies involved in the massive mobile tracking industry is the collection of MAC addresses of the devices that connect to various WiFi hotspots. Users rarely think twice about connecting to the wireless networks in coffee shops, airports, retail stores and other public spaces, even though there are a lot of security and privacy risks associated with that behavior. Attackers often will use public hotspots as targets for man-in-the-middle attacks that let them intercept users’ traffic. Those networks also can be used to collect detailed information about the devices that connect to them, including the unique device identifiers known as MAC addresses. Those identifiers typically are static, but in Apple iOS 8 the company is introducing a function that will spoof MAC addresses when a device scans for available WiFi networks. Each device will generate random MAC addresses to be used during scanning and connection, a behavior that will go a long way toward hampering the pervasive device tracking that’s performed as a matter of course by so many retailers and other companies. Retailers typically perform mobile device tracking in order to get a picture of customers’ movements in a store and track their behavior. The randomization of iOS MAC addresses is a privacy win. The randomization of iOS MAC addresses is a privacy win, especially for consumers who may not be aware that their devices broadcast a trackable unique identifier to WiFi hotspots or what that information could be used for by retailers and others involved in the tracking industry. But that’s not the only privacy enhancing change that’s included in iOS 8. Apple also is giving users the option of setting Duck Duck Go as the default search engine in Safari. Duck Duck Go is considered to be the search engine that does the best job of protecting users’ privacy, as it doesn’t collect or store any personal information. It also doesn’t send search terms to the sites that you visit from results pages and it also automatically redirects users to the encrypted versions of sites when they’re available. That function is similar to the functionality of the HTTPS Everywhere extension for desktop browsers. <iframe width="853" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/DWGAPFo3moc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Sept 17,2014 IOS 8.0 is avail
When it comes to iOS 8 compatibility, Apple requires an iPhone 4S or newer and iPad 2 or newer to update to the latest software. Only the iPhone 4 is cut from the list. Both the iPads mini and iPad mini 2 tablets and the forever alone iPod touch 5th generation are also going to work with the new iOS, just like they did with iOS 7. No one besides 2010's iPhone 4 gets left behind. Info here http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/ |
Apple has released iOS 8, a massive update to its mobile operating system, that includes fixes for more than 40 security vulnerabilities.
Apple is touting iOS 8 as the biggest update to the software since it launched the App Store, and, aside from the security fixes, there are hundreds of new features and functions in the update. Among the vulnerabilities patched in the new release are a series of kernel flaws, several WebKit bugs and a pair of vulnerabilities that allowed a user to install apps outside of the App Store. But perhaps the most interesting of the bugs killed in iOS 8 is a problem with the way that the OS implemented 802.1x. In some cases, the flaw could enable an attacker to steal a user’s WiFi credentials. “An attacker could have impersonated a WiFi access point, offered to authenticate with LEAP, broken the MS-CHAPv1 hash, and used the derived credentials to authenticate to the intended access point even if that access point supported stronger authentication methods. This issue was addressed by disabling LEAP by default,” the Apple advisory says. LEAP (lightweight extensible authentication protocol) is an older authentication protocol developed by Cisco and used for authentication on wireless networks. The protocol has known weaknesses and is susceptible to offline password cracking. The two app-installation vulnerabilities both were credited to the evad3rs crew, a group that releases jailbreaks for iPhones. One of the bugs is a race condition and the other is a path traversal issue, but both have the effect of allowing a local attacker to install unverified apps. In the Apple ecosystem, that means apps that didn’t come from the App Store. “A path traversal issue existed in App Installation. A local attacker could have retargeted code signature validation to a bundle different from the one being installed and cause installation of an unverified app. This issue was addressed by detecting and preventing path traversal when determining which code signature to verify,” the Apple advisory says. Among the other issues fixed is a longstanding problem that caused Bluetooth to be enabled by default whenever iOS was updated. Apple also patched an integer overflow flaw in CoreGraphics that could lead to remote code execution. There also is a fix for a vulnerability that enables a malicious app to bypass kernel ASLR, one of the key exploit mitigations in iOS. “A malicious application may be able to read kernel pointers, which can be used to bypass kernel address space layout randomization,” Apple said. “An out-of-bounds read issue existed in the handling of an IOHIDFamily function. This issue was addressed through improved bounds checking.” Two other issues in IOHIDFamily were patched as well, both of which could lead to code execution. Apple also patched a host of vulnerabilities in both Safari and WebKit. Among the WebKit bugs fixed were 12 memory corruption problems. One of the Safari flaws enables an attacker with a privileged network position to intercept user credentials. Source info http://threatpost.com/apple-launches....xvAd3Tu7.dpuf |
Apples IOS 8.0.2 info
iOS 8.0.2 on Thursday evening, promising to “fix an issue that affected iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users who downloaded 8.0.1,” the company said in a statement. The update also “includes improvements and bug fixes originally in iOS 8.0.1. We apologize for inconveniencing the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users who were impacted by the bug in iOS 8.0.1.” On Wednesday, the company was forced to pull the 8.0.1 update after 60 minutes of availability, because of user reports that it was disrupting cellular network connections and Touch ID fingerprint scanning on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models. An Apple spokeswoman said that fewer than 40,000 devices were affected by the bug. The following is Apple’s list of the fixes included in the 8.0.2 release:
http://blogs.wsj.com/personal-techno...promising-fix/ Note if you have IPhone 4 and lower you will not get anymore updates.:ras: |
IPhone 4 you can take it to the Verizon store where they will port your old IPhone 4 over to IPhone 5C if you have the 8GB version or 5S for 16GB
Verizon upgrade $ for $15 will update your 4 to 5 and then you will have the OS 8.0.2 Please note IPhone 4 and below will not get any updates. This is a huge security risk for anyone using for a company or business. The only issue will be resetting E-mail Account Make sure to use ITunes to back up your IPhone 4 before upgrade. |
The changes that both Google and Apple have made to their mobile operating systems to encrypt the data on users’ devices have generated praise from the security and privacy communities and vitriol and criticism from the law enforcement and political worlds in equal measure.
The changes to iOS and Android mean that devices running the most recent versions of the operating systems are protected by encryption and can’t be decrypted by Apple or Google. The companies don’t hold the decryption keys and so they don’t have anything to hand over to governments, even with a warrant. This has led some in the law enforcement community to warn that the encryption schemes will make protected smartphones havens for criminal data and hamper criminal investigations.

iOS 10 Will not run on the following iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad mini, and fifth-generation iPod Touch .
The last updates is 9.3.5 Apple has announced the hardware support list for iOS 10, After a surprising stay of execution last year, it looks like Apple is set to stop providing updates for a fair handful of older devices: the iPhone 4S, the iPad 2, the original iPad Mini, the 3rd-generation iPad, and the fifth-generation iPod Touch. List for IOS 10 and soon IOS 11 Apple has just announced the hardware support list for iOS 10, the next version of its smartphone and tablet OS that will be released in beta form soon and in final form later this year. After a surprising stay of execution last year, it looks like Apple is set to stop providing updates for a fair handful of older devices: the iPhone 4S, the iPad 2, the original iPad Mini, the 3rd-generation iPad, and the fifth-generation iPod Touch. |
OS 11 is out today and along with a new look and feel on the iPad especially comes a handful of patches for the Apple mobile OS.
Apple addressed eight CVEs in today’s iOS update, and 15 overall as it also updated Safari and the Xcode development framework. Related Posts Microsoft Won’t Fix Security Bypass Vulnerability in Edge September 7, 2017 , 2:24 pm Security Lacking in Previous AppleAVEDriver iOS Kernel Extension August 25, 2017 , 6:00 am It’s Not Exactly Open Season on the iOS Secure Enclave August 18, 2017 , 12:00 pm Two Webkit bugs, CVE-2017-7106 and CVE-2017-7089, were patched in iOS and Safari. CVE-2017-7089 is a universal cross-site scripting bug disclosed by Frans Rosen of Detectify and Anton Lopanitsyn of ONSEC. Apple said it addressed a logic issue in iOS’ handling of parent tabs. CVE-2017-7106, meanwhile, could be abused by an attacker allowing them to spoof the address bar. A user would need to be tricked into visiting a site hosting an exploit, Apple said. Apple also patched a similarly described bug in Safari for iOS and macOS, CVE-2017-7085, allowing an attacker to again spoof the address bar. Address bar spoofing allows an attacker to manipulate the browser and display a familiar URL to the user while they instead visit a site of the attacker’s choosing. Apple also patched an issue in iOS’ implementation of Exchange ActivSync where an attacker already on the network could erase an iPhone or iPad during Exchange setup. Apple said it patched CVE-2017-7088 by requiring TLS during setup. iOS’ MobileBackup was also patched, addressing a permissions issue that could allow the feature to perform an unencrypted backup despite established requirements mandating encrypted backups. Apple also patched denial-of-service vulnerabilities in Messages, Mail MessageUI and iBooks. In Messages, a crafted message could cause an iPhone or iPad to crash; Apple patched CVE-2017-7118 with improved validation. In Mail MessageUI, Apple patched a memory corruption flaw that could also crash a device if a malicious image is processed. Apple said that CVE-2017-7072 addresses multiple DoS issues in iBooks, each exploited through the parsing of maliciously crafted iBooks files. The Xcode update included patches for single vulnerabilities in Git and subversion, and five in Id64, all of which lead to arbitrary code execution. The Git and subversion bugs affect macOS Sierra 10.12.6 or later, and can be exploited through a maliciously crafted repository. The Id64 issues also affect macOS Sierra 10.12.6. Apple said it the five CVEs were memory corruption issues that could allow an attacker to run code through the parsing of a crafted Mach-O file. macOS uses this file format for native executables, libraries and objects. |
