'But those with iPhones and iPads older than that are stuck on iOS 12,
which doesn’t get regular updates. Every so often, though, Apple issues
an update to this years-old operating system with critical security
fixes. Some security issues are so important that it’s urgent to get
them out, even to the few users still hanging on to iPhones or iPads
from more than six years ago.

Well, iOS 12.5.6 is just such a release. It features a fix for the same
critical WebKit vulnerability that was fixed in iOS and iPadOS 15.6.1:'

To put this in perspective, the iPhone 6 was discontinued near exactly 7
years ago.
