Apple issues lock-screen alerts for aging iPhones amid rising web-exploit threats
Apple is sending lock-screen alerts to older iPhones and iPads to urge updating after the discovery of web-based exploit kits like Coruna and DarkSword that target specific iOS versions. Analysts warn these kits reflect a growing zero‑day market and could enable wider exploitation; users who can’t update are advised to enable Lockdown Mode if available, though Apple says no known mercenary spyware has targeted Lockdown-enabled devices.
