Apple's iOS 18.3.1 — the latest version of its iPhone operating system — features a key security update to patch a physical exploit.
Apple hasn't released too many details about the issue — after all,Dear Utol: Week 1 Highlights Episode 7 it wouldn't want to alert potential wrongdoers to a flaw they could exploit — but it involves Apple's USB Restricted Mode feature.
