Reports of borked iPads emerged on Twitter thanks reportedly to a hardware issue requiring users to possibly restore their devices or contact support. And people have. Users have Tweeted to Apple Support (@AppleSupport) with complaints their iPads cannot be restored through iTunes. The Register has sought comment from Apple. The patches (HT206568) also address a low-risk vulnerability that allowed attackers to bypass lock screens on modern iPhone 6 handsets. The hole found by Ark engineer Jose Rodriguez (@VBarraquito), of Spain, and Vulnerability Lab penetration tester Benjamin Kunz Mejri (@vuln_lab), of Germany, allows attackers to gain access to contacts, messages, settings, and emails on iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus devices running iOS 9.3.1.
