Thanks for the heads-up. Updating my iPhone now...

BTW, see this for one of the things this update presumably fixes:

Update your Apple devices. Right now. (WashPo)

"...The security update patches a dangerous vulnerability in WiFi chips that allows hackers to “execute arbitrary code” — industry-speak for taking over your device. Through the WiFi chip, a hacker may be able to assume control of your device's processor, the central computer that runs everything else..."

But the Wi-Fi problem is grabbing the most attention, on account that it allows a remote attacker to gain full access to your smartphone, rather than requiring local access or for users to take a particular action (like unpacking a malicious file).

Sounds like a super mega critical issue.

The hardware problem has been around since iPhone 5. When was the software introduced so it could be exploited?
