None of my ios devices asked to install the fix and I had to do a manual update check. This should not happen for major security issues.
(Last time I tethered to a friend's android phone!)
It shouldn't be like this; my main source of bandwidth _is_ 3G.
That's bizarre; I'm tempted to try it out when I get back to a country in which I have mobile data.
"More happening in this iPhone, I feel, than has been revealed"
I always giggle at it being called that.
Because yes, why not even hold the iOS fix for a day or two until they can both be pushed together? Obviously that’s not good, but isn’t it better than basically making an implicit irresponsible disclosure against your own operating system?
Maybe this bug is being exploited in the wild already and that’s the reason for the urgency?
Again, not that this should not be urgent, but why help your iOS users and at the same time potentially harm your OS X users? It just seems like a really weird decision.
I heard about this thing yesterday on HN and did the update manually. My dad and sister's iOS devices hadn't notified them yet when I told them about it today, more than 24 hours later.
