Apple releases Rapid Security Response updates for iOS 16.4.1, iPadOS 16.4.1, and macOS Ventura 13.3.1

You may want to run the Software Update feature on your Mac, iPhone, or iPad.

Apple on Monday released a Rapid Security Response (RSR) update for its iOS 16.4.1, iPadOS 16.4.1, and macOS Ventura 13.3.1 operating systems. These are the first public RSR updates that Apple has released to date.

The updates function as security updates, and both download and install quickly prior to executing a quick restart for the device.

Once the ‌iPhone‌ Rapid Security Response update is installed, iOS 16.4.1 users will see an updated version of the software, and tapping on the version in the About section of Settings will display information about the installed iOS version and the Rapid Security Response update.

Apple has been testing the Rapid Security Response feature since last year, with RSRs first introduced with the launch of iOS 16 and macOS Ventura. To date, Apple has only provided updates to beta testers in order to make sure the function is working before providing it to all iOS and macOS users. These are the first Rapid Security Response updates that Apple has provided to the general public following the beta testing period.

Apple has also stated that it will be releasing the Rapid Security Response updates on a rolling basis across the next 48 hours, so not all users will see it right away.

If you’ve tried the updates and have any feedback to offer, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
