Apple releases iOS 12.4.1, WatchOS 5.3.1, MacOS 10.14.6, and tvOS 12.4.1

Apple, on Monday, released updates for a range of devices. It released the iOS 12.4.1 update that fixes major security flaw, watchOS 5.3.1, macOS Mojave 10.14.6 as well as the tvOS 12.4.1 update. All these updates are now available for users to download and install. Here’s everything that’s new with the updates.

First of all, Apple has made up for a mistake that allowed "malicious applications to execute arbitrary code with system privileges.” The iOS 12.4.1 update appears to fix the vulnerability that enabled jailbreaking. However, the notes don’t say much, and that the update “provides important security and stability updates.” It is available for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users now. You can find more details about the update here.

Apple also released the macOS Mojave 10.14.6 Supplemental Update. According to the release notes, the update: 

• Resolves an issue that may cause certain Mac notebooks to shut down during sleep.
• Fixes an issue that may degrade performance when working with very large files.
• Addresses an issue that may prevent Pages, Keynote, Numbers, iMovie, and GarageBand from updating.

Lastly, tvOS 12.4.1 and watchOS 5.3.1 bring no major changes. However, according to the website, "use after free issue was addressed with improved memory management". The watchOS 5.3.1 update also focuses on fixing bugs instead of adding new features to the OS. Major changes could be introduced with the upcoming tvOS 13 and watchOS 6.

The Apple event that is expected to be held next month could introduce us to a 16-inch Macbook Pro, three new iPhones, a cheap iPad, better AirPods, and a new HomePod. The company might also unveil a new generation of Apple Watch that might have OLED screens.
