I don’t care how they do it but I want to be able to press and hold the flashlight icon and, without lifting my finger, immediately begin to slide my finger up and down to adjust flashlight brightness.

Boo form over function. Very minor nod to the increased granularity.

iOS 18 versus iOS 17 flashlight UI comparison

    But security :-/

    Aren’t there a (~~~~)hundred million people using out of date iOS and macOS? Are they all part of botnets? Do I have to review every CVE patch since the final version of iOS 17 or any unpatched OS to understand the actual risks of not upgrading Apple hardware the day it goes out of date?

    ^been meaning to make a thread

    Oh awesome even the iPhone 11 does too.

    You have to go back to the iPhone 6 to find a phone that is guaranteed not to be patched against this:

    “iOS 15.8.4 and iPadOS 15.8.4
    Released March 31, 2025
    […]
    WebKit
    Impact: Maliciously crafted web content may be able to break out of Web Content sandbox.”

    or this from Sept

    So that’s why people must be generally OK. There can’t be massive numbers of people using the 6 or earlier anymore. Well not super massive. Wonder how often that web content is maliciously crafted to break out on them… I’ll have to make that thread because I’m really curious about this. How many people are vulnerable, how desirable and easy to deploy is the exploit…
