Apple just released iOS 18.5 for iPhone users with several new features and changes. The company has now updated its security website to reveal that iOS 18.5 also fixes over 30 security vulnerabilities affecting things like Bluetooth, FaceTime, and more.
There’s also a fix exclusively for the iPhone 16e for a vulnerability impacting the device’s baseband…
The iPhone 16e is the first product to feature an Apple-designed modem, which the company calls the C1 chip. iOS 18.5 fixes a vulnerability affecting the baseband where an “attacker in a privileged network position may be able to intercept network traffic.”
iOS 18.5 also patches vulnerabilities affecting Call History, Bluetooth, CoreAudio, AppleJPEG, and more. Notably, Apple isn’t aware of any situations in which these vulnerabilities were exploited in the wild.
You can find the full rundown on all the security fixes in iOS 18.5 on Apple’s website. In addition to iOS 18.5, Apple has also published details on security fixes included in the following updates that were released today:
