Apple Releases iOS 7.0.6 With Fix for SSL Connection Verification
Apple today released iOS 7.0.6 for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, a minor update that includes a fix for SSL connection verification. iOS 7.0.6, which carries a build number of 11b651, is available as an over-the-air-update and weighs in at 35.4MB on an iPhone 5s.
According to an Apple Support Knowledge Base article, the SSL vulnerability allowed a hacker to capture or modify data in supposedly secure sessions.
Apple has also released iOS 6.1.6 (build 10b500) for the iPhone 3GS and fourth-generation iPod touch.

Ha! The iPhone 3GS (JUNE 2009) is STILL getting updates, when Android devices from 2012 are already abandoned.

Sarcastic. The update has been out for 5 whole minutes. It would be impossible to judge that battery life is doubled in 5 minutes, unless of course said battery life is normally only 2.5 minutes.

I really wish they would stop turning bluetooth on by default every time I update!

Since 7.0.5 was denied to the USA :mad:, I ain't really giving Apple credit for that one.
It wasn't denied, there was just nothing to update for US models in relation to that update.----------
Said it was 35 MB, required 1.2GB, cleared 1.5GB to free, updated, blue screen popped up, phone is bricked and restoring through iTunes now.

Not only has there never been a x.x.6 update, but I've never seen them support previous iOS versions like this before. (iOS 6.1.5 and 6.1.6.)
Nice, Apple! :apple:

What do Android updates have anything to do with this article?
Uh... did you read what he posted when you quoted and replied?
Because if you had read and actually understood what you read, it would be obvious.

/Sarcasm for those who can't tell.
