Apple releases iOS 15.8.7 to fix Coruna exploit for iPhone 6S from 2015

Apple just dropped iOS 15.8.7 for the iPhone 6S era, and the comments instantly turned into a stadium. The update closes the Coruna exploit, a nasty hole that could let bad apps or sketchy websites take over. Apple had already fixed it on newer iPhones; this brings the repair to devices stuck on older software. Translation for non-nerds: your grandma’s trusty 2015 phone can keep scrolling without inviting hackers to the party.

But the crowd is split. One camp is clapping for the decade-long support, with jokes like “this helps the 10 people still on a 6S,” while still calling it a W for Apple. The skeptics are loud: “Am I supposed to be impressed?” sneers one commenter, arguing Apple’s long updates are the trade-off for high upfront prices. Another accuses Apple of a “rug-pull” by patching older systems while pushing new looks, even ranting about a “fugly 26”—version drama that left others blinking. A cooler head jumps in to clarify, “the phone is from 2015, not the exploit chain,” dropping a link for context. Meanwhile, thecybernerd wonders what active device threshold convinces Apple to patch a fossil. It’s security meets soap opera—and everyone brought popcorn.
