i know that iphone 7 can’t run ios 16 but they can still get security patches when needed.

better question is ios 15.7.8 even at risk for this security issue?

    Yes they are at risk. I don’t think we know yet if there will be a patch. For my iPad mini on iOS 15, I’ve turned off iMessage on it (it’s wifi only).

    It seems to be a very critical flaw so I think there’s a good chance they will put out a security patch for iOS 15.

    Maybe it will get it, I remember 2-3 years ago, they even updated all the way to the iPhone 4 for a security patch

    Apple patches older releases for zero day bugs. If there is no patch, then usually it means the exploit doesn’t work on that older release.

    Does anyone know if ios 15 is even vulnerable? or was this an exploit introduced in 16? Given the lack of response on 15 I would assume its not.
