Apple reissues RSR patch for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
After pulling the Rapid Security Response for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS a few days prior, Apple has reissued the software updates.
However, when Apple issued the RSR for supported iPhones, iPads, and Macs, the company quickly pulled the new software following complaints that major websites were blocking Safari users from accessing content.
While the revised RSR is available now to download for iOS 16.5.1, iPadOS 16.5.1, and macOS 13.4.1, Apple has not updated its official security updates page as of the time of publication. It’s expected the revised update will patch the same security issues the first update was meant to address.
To enable “Security Responses & System Files” on an iPhone or iPad, navigate to Settings, then select General, followed by Software Update. From there, access Automatic Updates and ensure the toggle is turned on.
For Mac users, open the Apple menu by clicking on the Apple logo, then select System Settings. In the Settings window, click on General and Software Update, then Automatic Updates, and make sure the toggle is turned on for “Install Security Responses and system files.”
