US Cybersecurity Agency urged to install iOS 13.2 urgently: iPhone owners are unhappy

What is happening with Apple is like a black line, which the company will not overcome in any way. iOS 13 turned out to be so problematic that now Cupertino is forced to tirelessly design fresh updates to fix all vulnerabilities and system errors, which turned out to be even too many.

“Of course, at first users did not notice the catch, but over time, even the most ardent fans of updates began to avoid them out of harm’s way. After all, you never know what other problems the next update will add,” writes Apple Insider.

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency recommends that you do not neglect the installation of iOS 13.2 and macOS 10.15.1. The department explained that the update is a necessary measure to ensure the security of compatible devices and user data. The fact is that previous versions of operating systems are vulnerable to hacker attacks, because they allow you to execute arbitrary code on devices, intercept traffic and increase privileges without the user's knowledge.

Why you should install iOS 13.2

It’s rather unusual that the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is generally worried about Apple users. In any case, such situations did not arise before, which could indicate dramatic changes that occurred either in the department, because of which it became interested in ordinary users, or with Apple operating systems that became so unsafe that now, given their high degree distribution, pose a threat to a huge number of people.

The last explanation sounds most logical, because this fall Apple really fell into the maelstrom of updates, since each previous version of its operating systems invariably endangered users. Often Cupertino did not confirm the existence of a critical vulnerability, preferring to confine itself to general phrases in the description of recent updates, but a large number of bugs indirectly indicated that Apple was not okay with the security of proprietary platforms either.

If this is true, then users who neglect to install the latest updates are putting themselves at risk right now. But how to explain to people that iOS 13.2 will benefit their devices, and not disable them, as happened with some gadgets? Therefore, it is obvious that many users are now afraid of updates like fire and generally regret that they agreed to install iOS 13, which turned out to be all worse than the previous iteration of the OS, except, perhaps, for performance.

"Step back"

However, iOS 13.2 cannot be called a problem-free version of the operating system. Those who have already installed the update complain that Apple has sent their phones to the “stone age,” writes Today.

Many users on the network complain about the slow operation of smartphones after installing the iOS 13.2 update. As enthusiasts at Reddit found out, the new patch implements aggressive memory management, which forcibly unloads programs from background processes. The problem is reminiscent of a time when multitasking was not fully implemented on older iPhones, MacRumors reports.

Users have noticed that applications begin to be actively unloaded from RAM after switching to a “heavier” program, for example, a video game or camera. After closing, old programs begin to be reloaded into RAM, and this process takes time and the smartphone itself begins to “slow down.”

In some cases, unpleasant features arise when using the iPhone, for example, the draft of the letter may not be saved or the mark at which the video on YouTube stopped is stopped. Not only ordinary users, but also application developers complain about overly aggressive memory management in iOS 13.2.

“iOS's storage management system has taken a step back—it's as if we've gone back to the days before multitasking on older iPhone models. When we had to quit apps and start them again, and we couldn't switch between them,” explains developer Nick Heer on his Twitter page.

The audience is divided regarding a fresh update. Some say that this is a feature of iOS 13.2 firmware, while others agree that this is a serious mistake that the Apple Quality Assessment Department missed.

Those who support the idea of ​​the features of the new firmware work, argue their arguments with the fact that the amount of RAM was increased in the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max, and the integrated task scheduler was optimized for them, and on older models this function began to work less efficiently. Apple fixed this defect with a new firmware, which affected the strange operation of the mobile operating system.

But the arguments of the proponents of the bug in iOS 13.2 claim that complaints come even from owners of the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max. This can be explained by the fact that these devices have a very resource-intensive camera application that processes frames from several sensors at once.
