If You Have an iPhone Here’s Why You Need to Update It ASAP
When I bought my new iPhone X I ended up staying at the AT&T store for several hours. I had neglected to back up my phone for over 2 years. Bad maintenance on my end, and I ultimately ended up paying the price by spending several hours at the phone store on a Saturday. There is a new update available for your iPhone and this is one we won't want to skip or put off for a couple of years. The iOS 12.2 is packed with 51 security fixes. This update will also prevent different apps from accessing your iPhone's microphone. This update will also pause your FaceTime calls when you leave the app.
When Apple TV+ had their press event privacy concerns kept coming up. Clearly privacy is something that concerns many Americans. With malicious apps being able to access your iPhone we are all eager to update our iPhones. Parents don't forget to update your kids phones too.
