Now we are being told many of our "chips" in Apple products, along with others produced since the 1990's have a major flaw
2011ish....
On the news they quoted the "1990's" TB, so if it is only since 2011ish that is still worrying for me with my post 2013 magic gadgets!
Just make sure they are updated.
What, buy all new iPhone, iPad, PC etc?
Oh dear TB. I think I have just asked you a stupid question!
By "updated" I take it you mean any software updates that come through?
My PC has recently had a mass of updates for Windows 10, but how do I update a mobile phone's or iPad's software?
If your iPhone/iPad has had a software update since mid December (that's the big update that takes 15m, and reboots device), you have the current patches for these already. iPods without wifi are kinda irrelevant.
If your iDevices are old and no longer supported by Apple, they wont get patched, obviously.
Win10, MS are still rolling out patches via Windows Update. For most of us, that will likely mean 2 Jan 18 cumulative updates. Pre Win10, patches are still being tested.
