Nelle ultime ore è iniziata la distribuzione della versione definitiva di
iOS 15.3, al termine della fase di test che si è protratta all'incirca per un mese e mezzo. Il rilascio avviene a due settimane di distanza dal precedente aggiornamento
iOS 15.2.1 ed include il firmware iPadOS 15.3 dedicato agli iPad.
Il change-log con l'elenco delle migliorie è piuttosto corposo, ma riguarda quasi esclusivamente la risoluzione dei bug scoperti di recente che pregiudicavano la sicurezza dei dispositivi durante la navigazione web. Per questo motivo Apple consiglia alla clientela di procedere all'aggiornamento appena possibile.
