I think it's reasonable to think Apple will iterate quickly on this.

Why? The iOS 15.x update history.

Lots and lots of privacy stuff in the point releases. (And accessibility stuff, they’ve been on a tear there.) They’re still in a monolithic mindset when it comes to the “big” apps, but they’re iterating faster on these sorts of things as the release cycle goes along.



You might have missed that Apple announced realtime security updates at WWDC [1].

That includes fast, no-reboot, and invisible-to-the-user security patches, not improvements in features like Lockdown Mode.


Yup, I sure did.

That…is seemingly a thing they should have done a long time ago…but it’s still smart, and I’m glad they’re doing it. Now they don’t have to rush the QA of a point release to vanquish yet another PDF parsing security threat.
