Your iPhone, iPad and Mac could be in serious trouble! Even though Apple products are deemed safer than similar products from rivals, there are software vulnerabilities that are discovered by hackers and developers. Apple has now disclosed a couple of security vulnerabilities for certain iPhone, iPad and Mac models that could allow hackers to take complete control of the device remotely. Apple released two security reports that describe the vulnerability allowing someone to get full access to the devices.

The vulnerability allows the hackers to impersonate the device's owner and gain full admin access. This means they can run any software or app on the device by their name. The vulnerability affects all iPhone 6S models and newer. Additionally, it also affects several models of the iPad, which include the iPad 5th Gen and newer models, all iPad Pro models, and the iPad Air 2. Mac devices are also affected by the vulnerability, especially the ones that run macOS Monterey. Some iPod models are also affected by the vulnerability.
