    Given how incompetent Apple is in finding their own security holes,
    are any of you aware that iOS 15.5 is a _massive_ security update?

    *Apple Issues Massive iPhone Security Update For Millions Of Users*
    <https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2022/05/17/ios-155-apple-issues-massive-iphone-security-update-for-millions-of-users/>
    "Almost exactly two months ago, Apple released iOS 15.4 which
    addressed a hefty 39 security issues for millions of iPhone users.

    Now there's another massive security update in the shape of iOS 15.5.

    This crucial iOS update comes with fixes for some 34 vulnerabilities,
    covering the full gamut of exploit opportunities from executing
    arbitrary code with kernel or system privileges, to sandbox
    restriction bypass, denial of service, and privilege elevation."
    --
    Apple has the worst QA in computer history given how bad their iOS code is.

    Hi Ant,

    Nobody but Apple knows what's in it yet.

    In my previous post, I confused it with 15.5... mea culpa.

    Nobody knows yet (I'm sure they'll find out over time), but that's my hunch
    too knowing Apple's OS release process is arguably the worst on the planet.

    Considering the beta just came out, the way to find that out is to
    install it. Otherwise, it will be out in 3 weeks or so, by which time
    you might have a better idea of what is included.

    iOS & iPadOS 15.5 Release Notes

    Update your apps to use new features, and test your apps against API changes.

    Overview

    The iOS & iPadOS 15.5 SDK provides support to develop apps for iPhone,
    iPad, and iPod touch devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.5. The SDK comes
    bundled with Xcode 13.4, available from the Mac App Store. For
    information on the compatibility requirements for Xcode 13.4, see Xcode
    13.4 Release Notes.

    Apple Pay

    New Features

    * Developers can express payment network preference in PKPaymentRequest.
    Network preference is determined by the order of supportedNetworks. This
    won’t override the user’s default card selection, but if the card is
    multi-SSD, then the network preference order determines which SSD is
    selected. (80827905)

    Authentication

    New Features

    * Support is added to the passkey technology preview, enabling signing in
    to passkey-compatible websites and apps on Mac and iPad using an iPhone
    with a saved passkey. (87998254)

    This is exactly _why_ you're an iKook, Jolly Roger.
    *Who on earth is as _stupid_ as you just proved to be*

    As always, even after we _force_ you iKooks to _click_ on the links,
    you _still_ prove to not own the most basic of adult comprehensive skills.

    You own reading comprehension skills of a kindergarten child, Jolly Roger.

    HINT: Compare those iOS 15.5 release notes to the 15.6 beta release notes (which simply don't exist, as far as anyone can tell so far).

    I don't care iKooks are child-like with a low-IQ and no education; but due
    to that, they don't own even the most basic of adult cognitive skills.
