Security News > 2021 > July > Apple iPhone patches are out – no news if recent Wi-Fi bug is fixed
It's already nearly two months since Apple's last security update to iOS 14, which was back on 2021-05-24 when iOS 14.6 appeared.
So we weren't surprised to see that another patch is out, officially listed [2021-07-19] as covering iOS, tvOS and watchOS. Annoyingly, there's no mention of iPadOS, which has typically been listed on the same line as its related iOS update in recent Apple security reports.
IOS 12 updates have typically been appearing out of step with iOS/iPadOS 14 updates recently, so if you have an iOS 12 device, there isn't an update for you at the moment.
Usually, releases that bump the version number up by 0.1 rather than by 0.0.1 include all the security holes that Apple has been working on since the last major update came out.
As we've described a few times recently on Naked Security, one or more of the updates consitutes a zero-day, meaning that Apple found out that it needed to patch the hole after it started being exploited in the wild.
The security page that we linked to above now allows you to view a list of vulnerabilities that were fixed in this update.
