14 DAY TRIAL // When iOS 7 made its glorious debut earlier this week, everyone’s attention immediately turned to the colorful graphics and flat design, as well as the exciting new features it offers.
But few people bothered to skim the release notes for clues as to what may be lurking under the hood, behind the eye-popping glitter.
To save you the suspense, no, it’s not some hidden treasure. It’s a truckload of security fixes which some of you may be interested in. Just to assess the dangers you’re exposing yourself to under iOS 6, if you plan on staying there for much longer (or worse, downgrading).
iOS 7 includes a total of 80 security fixes which address key areas of the operating system, from Kernel, Certificate Trust Policy, Data Protection, Data Security, to Passcode Lock (not that it’s any safer to use it now), Push Notifications, Safari, and dozens others.
See Apple’s advisory for the full scoop, and consider staying on the safe side, even if you’re not crazy about the updated look and feel of iOS 7.
