Apple recently released the fourth minor update to its iOS, the 9.3.4. Being a minor update, this version has not brought forward any new features. It has, however, brought a very important security patch. So it recommended that all iOS users update their devices.

So what is the security patch does this security patch promise? According to Apple, this update addresses an issue where “an application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.” The description on the support page says, “A memory corruption issue was addressed through improved memory handling.” A website that deals exclusively with rumors regarding Apple, MacRumors, has added that iOS 9.3.4 also fixes the Pangu iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak vulnerability.

Not too long ago, Apple updated the iOS 9.3, which was released in March, with its third minor update (the iOS 9.3.3). It was back in March that some major new features were added; new features included the Night Shift feature, new Health app categories, Touch ID support for Notes, new News app personalization features, additional Education apps and some improvements to the Music app via CarPlay.

According to market experts like SmartIO have suggested that, If you’re wondering when the next big update is due, well…it could be as soon as next month, when it is also expected that the new iPhone 7 is announced. Yes, the iPhone 7, which has everyone so pumped up. We have our content transfer apps all set… ready to make the switch. It is anticipated that many of Apple’s stock applications will be revamped with the iOS 10. Some of the anticipated changes include a more interactive lock screen, a more contextual QuickType keyboard – one that can process the written content.

If you want to download the latest iOS update, just go to Settings > General > Software Update from your device. All iPhone users 4s and later, and users of iPad 2 and later and iPod touch (5th generation) and later can benefit from the update. Another means of updating involves you connecting your iOS device to iTunes and downloading it.
