Apple recently released emergency security patches for iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, and Apple Watches that target several  “zero-day” vulnerabilities that could leave a device open to spyware.

According to several bulletins posted by Apple late last week, the security patches were rolled out for a number of products, including ones that use iOS and iPadOS 17.0.1, iOS and iPad OS 16.7, MacOS Ventura 13.6, MacOS Monterey 12.7, and WatchOS 10.0.1 and 9.6.3, among many others.
