I have seen no further reports of problems with the update, and I would advise all patient iPhone and iPad owners to make iOS 15.7 / iPadOS 15.7 their base for the next few weeks until iOS 16 becomes more stable.Īs a general rule, I would target iOS 16.1. I will publish my final verdict here in one week.Ġ9/20: Final Verdict - one week on, iOS 15.7 continues to look like a safe haven for users looking to avoid the wide array of bugs in iOS 16. Note: hesitant upgraders can bookmark this guide because it will be updated with any relevant flaws or features I find.
Yes, some users have faced update and app update issues, but this is a small minority, and historically such errors have been server-side bugs Apple can fix remotely. IOS 15.7 / iPadOS 15.7 are important security updates, particularly for iPhones and iPads not supported by iOS 16. iOS 16 contains the same fixes but it does not support the iPhone SE (first gen), iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus and iPod touch. IOS 15.7 also fixes two additional vulnerabilities in Kernel, two in WebKit (the engine behind Safari) and flaws in Contacts, Maps, MediaLibrary and Shortcuts. This vulnerability is in the iOS Kernel, potentially allowing an attacker to execute malicious code on iPhones and iPads.
According to Apple’s official security page, iOS 15.7 patches 11 vulnerabilities, the most serious of which is CVE-2022-32917. This is an understatement, as the update's unprecedented release date already implied.
