Apple Releases iOS 12.5.6 Update for Older iPhones and iPads With Vulnerability Fixes
The update can be downloaded over-the-air by opening up the Settings app, tapping on “General,” and selecting the “Software Update” option.
The iOS 12.5.6 update likely fixes two major vulnerabilities that were actively exploited, so it’s worth updating right away if you have an older device. These kernel and WebKit vulnerabilities were already fixed in the iOS 15.6.1, iPadOS 15.6.1, and macOS Monterey 12.5.1 updates.
Devices that cannot be updated past iOS 12 include the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPod touch 6, original iPad Air, iPad mini 2, and iPad mini 3.
