What BBN said about it

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentApple's iOS 27. 2 fixes more than one hundred sixty security vulnerabilities, and Apple says about eighty percent of iPhone owners are still running iOS 26.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the patch is for a phone four out of five people don't have yet, if Apple's number holds.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentCorrect. Apple even backported one fix to iOS 18 for an attack it calls extremely sophisticated and aimed at specific targeted people.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIt gave no details about who was behind it.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNobody taps update. It sits in settings like an unread email, and the red badge just becomes part of the wallpaper.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe new feature is Siri AI remembering things it told you before, like a restaurant it recommended last week.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIt works in French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish, but not in the EU or mainland China.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo it'll remember the restaurant I ignored.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentVerdict: one hundred sixty holes closed, eighty percent not through the door.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSiri remembers what it told you last week. That's more than most of us do with the update reminder.
