Rapid Security Responses for iOS/iPadOS 16.5.1 (a) and macOS Ventura 13.4.1 (a)

Ok, thanks for the update.

I was not aware of this fact, after reading the original article.

Interestingly, I received notice for my iPhone but haven’t for my iPad Mini 6 even though both are on 16.5.1.

Edit: OK, the Mini 6 updated today, 18 Jul 23.

Yeah, what is going on with Apple not updating Safari 16.2.5 released on Monday for Monterey. I can’t go to 90% of my sites. At work I’ve updated all the Ventura Macs with the (c) fixed update and there working fine but I can’t fix the monterey Macs. There’s been no talk that Safari 16.2.5 for Monterey was broken as well on any of the Mac sites (Appleinsider, 9to5Mac, MacWorld). I’ve been using Chrome in the meantime. Does anyone know if Apple is aware of this issue? I have Time Machine but I can’t roll back Safari.

They did re-post both the Big Sur and Monterey Safari 16.2.5 installers a couple of times this week, most recently on Friday, but if you don’t see it in Software Update then you should be fine. The only problem reported with the Ventura version was with the version number of ā€œ16.2.5 (a)ā€, nothing about the Safari app or WebKit code. If you aren’t having any problems accessing Instagram, WhatsApp or Zoom, then there is no reason to not be using Safari.

My Safari was updated to 16.2.5 on Monday, July 10, 2023 at 9.28 PM and remember I’m on the latest version of Monterey. Since then most of my pages get an error after trying to reload multiple times. See the error below. Here are some of the sites that get the error (CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Appleinsider, 9to5Mac, InfoWorld, rottentomatoes, and more. Safari is now useless to me and I can’t rollback to the previous version not even from TimeMachine. I don’t know what to do.

Never mind - figured it out.
