hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and today Apple released an all-new type of update iOS
security response 16.2 a now this is currently available for beta testers so if you're on iOS
16.2 Developer beta 3 or iOS 16.2 public beta 3 you'll see this update now and this is a new type
of update Apple talked about with the introduction of iOS 16 that allows them to rapidly update the
phone with security updates and Bug fixes and so you can see this is the first of its kind and it
came in at 96 megabytes on the 14 pro Max it was a little bit bigger on the iPad and I'll
show you the install overall process as it's a little bit different and much faster than before
now as you can see it says this rapid security response provides important security fixes and
is recommended for all users and the link that they're actually providing brings you directly
to the Apple security updates web page however there's no information about it now you can see
they also released TV OS 16 0.1.1 today and that was just to fix an app installation bug
however this is the first time we've seen a security response update so they're testing
it with beta testers and now we'll be able to test that out try it out and we'll take
a look at the build number as some things have changed there as well now I wanted to show you
how you install this because it's a little bit different as far as its overall speed if we go
into settings you'll see I have it here on the iPad and it's downloaded it was a little over
100 megabytes we'll hit install now I'll put in my passcode now it says verifying security
response we'll give it just a moment and it should reboot in just a moment and be done it took under
a minute for my iPhone to install this update so we'll give it a moment see if it reboots quickly
you'll see it's rebooting the iPad right away we'll give it just a moment and that was pretty
much it it was just about done as soon as it rebooted so let's give it a second here and
see what happens so hopefully it's pretty quick we're back up let's see if we can unlock here we
unlocked and that's it it's installed already that was in real time I didn't pause the video
or jump forward it was extremely fast and that's a rapid security response update and so once you've
installed the update once you go to your software update page it's a little bit different you'll
see this in software updates if you're wanting to install it so you just go to software update and
I did find that on this phone I had to go into my settings and turn on security responses and system
files it showed up but it actually showed up on my other phone my iPhone 14 pro without doing that so
it varies from device to device however now if we go to about you can see the version number is 16.2
a so you would think we'd have a new build number now you'll see the build we have two separate ones
we have the main iOS build number and then the New Rapid security response build number so we
have a very long 16.2 a and then 2 0 C 7750490e and so this is something new we can even remove
the security response now whether or not we'll be able to do that in the future is hard to say as
Apple could change this up just make it installed and not be able to remove it but during the beta
test at least we'll be able to remove that if it's causing any issues but it should include bug fixes
and improvements now what specifically those are Apple hasn't said there's not a whole lot
of information about that so we'll have to wait and see if it improves anything but the phone
wasn't even hot when it rebooted and I wouldn't expect any difference as far as performance or
anything else they're probably just testing out a feature to see how well it will install and how
quickly so you saw how fast it installed that was pretty impressive and so what this will do is just
give us the ability to not have major updates in fact in some cases where we'll have a small update
maybe an iOS 16.0.1 to fix something now they can just push a security response update patch a
security hole fix some bugs and then be done with it then when they want to add features they can
push those with iOS 16.2 or larger Point updates 16.2 16.3 and so on but I wouldn't expect this to
affect performance or battery life unless there was a bug if they had a memory leak or some app
was using additional background activity and it wasn't supposed to that could certainly increase
battery life overall so it's great to have these faster responses and this could be a response to
what we had with apple the other day where they said the feedback system through apple with an
email from Craig federighi that was mentioned on Mac Rumors I mentioned it in yesterday's video as
well maybe this is just the start of that where they'll have better feedback they can rapidly
patch that issue push it to iPhones and then work on more solid features over time such as freeform
instead of having to wait years or months for it to actually release now if you've already
installed the iOS security response 16.2 and you found something else I didn't mention I'd love to
hear from you in the comments below and also what do you think about the security response updates
I think it's a great idea but I'd love to hear from you there as well I like that we have the
ability to install it on our own or not install it just like a normal update but let me know
what you think in the comments below of course I'll link this wallpaper in the description like
I normally do and if you haven't subscribed already please subscribe and if you enjoyed
