Vratislav Holub Apple now released new versions of operating systems in mid-December iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2, which made some interesting functions available to apple growers. For example, we finally got Freeform's brand new app for creative collaboration with friends. However, the new update attracts attention for a slightly different reason. Both systems bring fixes for more than 30 security bugs, which opened up an interesting discussion in the fan community.

Users began to discuss whether we should perceive the mentioned number of security errors as an imaginary raised finger. So let's focus on that topic in this article. Is the security of the apple operating system sufficient, or is its level declining?
Security bugs in iOS
First of all, it is necessary to realize one very key fact. Operating systems can be seen as incredibly large projects that simply cannot do without errors. Although developers try to minimize them through rigorous development and testing, they cannot be practically avoided. The key to success is therefore regular updates. That is why developers recommend that people always update their applications and systems and work with the latest versions, which, in addition to some news, also bring security patches and thus ensure a higher level of security. In theory, it is thus impossible to meet a high-quality complex system that is truly error-free from A to Z.
What's new in iOS 16
But now to the topic itself. Are over 30 security flaws alarming? Actually, not at all. Paradoxically, on the contrary, as users, we can be happy that they have been resolved, and therefore it is necessary to update the system quickly to prevent a possible attack. In addition, you don't have to worry about the number itself - in practice, it is nothing unique at all. It is enough to look at the notes on updates for competing operating systems, specifically for systems such as Windows or Android. Their security updates often solve a significantly larger number of errors, which brings us back to the very beginning of why regular updates are extremely important.
As we already mentioned in the very introduction, specifically on December 13, 2022, Apple released new versions of its operating systems iOS 16.2, iPadOS 16.2, watchOS 9.2, macOS 13.1 Ventura, HomePod OS 16.2 and tvOS 16.2. So if you own a compatible device, you can already update it in the traditional way. HomePods (mini) and Apple TV are updated automatically.

You never know if solving 30 security problems has created 60 others :-)
Lojza, but you don't know that even with Android
The update from the photos is completely useless, I have a negative one myself
Rather, they should finally eliminate the problem with the volume during a call - if the display is off, it cannot be changed. And this is reported by x users since the first iOS16 and nothing.
