The latest version of Apple's operating system has received so many patches that it starts to look like my amended childhood pants.
Trouble in paradise?
Apple released on Wednesday the eighth update for iOS 11 after last week it was released a bug that endangered products using HomeKit.
iOS 11.2.1, already available for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, can be downloaded from the device itself although it is always advisable to backup the information beforehand. Apple said last week that these days it would release this update.
Not counting the iOS 11 version itself, Apple has released eight updates due to several security and performance issues, although not all related to this issue-iOS 11.2, for example, was released with the premise of adding new emojis.
However, iOS 11 could be the version with the most updates to date: iOS 11.0.1, iOS 11.0.2, iOS 11.0.3, iOS 11.1, iOS 11.1.1, iOS 11.1.2, iOS 11.2 and the newly released of the iOS 11.2.1 oven. More those that are missing; Apple usually stops updating until it reaches X.3 or X.4.
On Wednesday also, Apple released tvOS 11.2.1, an update that is coupled to iOS 11.2.1 by bringing a security patch related to the vulnerability located in HomeKit, since the streaming box also has compatibility with household objects.
