iOS 18.2.1 Update For iPhones: What You Could Get

The iOS 18.2.1 update will basically be a minor release that looks to fix any bugs that iPhone users are facing with the iOS 18.2 version and also handle any possible security issues that may be dangerous for them. These details come via MacRumors which says the actual information about the update have not been disclosed yet.

So, if you have been waiting for the iOS 18.3 update to come out this month, you might have to wait a little longer. In fact, it is quite possible that Apple goes easy with the next version and probably offers it closer to the end of January.

We have heard reports about the big iOS 18.4 update expected to be released around March-April period, which means Apple could space out the next version after iOS 18.2 for a few more weeks. The current version brought a slew of AI features for the eligible iPhone models (iPhone 15 Pro or higher), and other big tweaks for all the users.

In other iOS news, a new report suggests that iOS has become an easier target for hackers than Android devices, which will surely have millions worried about their data and how they use it.

The report from security analysts at Lookout suggests even though Android sells more in numbers than iPhones, hackers find it easier to gain access to the latter, which will have Apple and its users worried.

The report claims iOS devices are highly preferred by the enterprise segment, and they become easier to target for phishing attacks. In fact, the Q3 2024 report even mentions that 18.4 percent of iOS devices, while only 11.4 percent of Android devices were targeted by the hackers. The attempt to hack these devices means data like passwords, usernames and more are at risk, and people should be careful of what they access on their official devices, and what they open.
