Apple has released a number of new software updates for iPhone and iPad owners, among others. The new iOS version 16.5.1 corrects an error when charging the iPhone and fixes security-related vulnerabilities.
iPhone and iPad users will now receive a new update for iOS 16 and iOS 15. This is an update without any new features. This fixes an issue that caused the charging function to not work with the Lightning to USB 3 camera adapter. All other changes relate to unspecified bug fixes and security updates.

Important for this update: According to Apple, vulnerabilities that could also be exploited on older systems have been patched. There are reports of active exploits.
