Apple officially confirmed that there is a vulnerability in iOS16 that may affect the activation of new computers
Today (September 16), the iPhone 14 series phones have been officially launched. However, shortly after the launch, Apple officially confirmed that there was a very serious problem with the latest IOS 16 system, which may affect new computers activated in the open WIFI network environment. The news immediately aroused wide debate among netizens, and once reached the top ten of the hot search.
Apple has confirmed that users who activate new iPhones may encounter a problem, that is,they cannot activate devices using Wi Fi during the initial setup. Apple said the problem is "under investigation".
In a memo MacRumors saw, Apple said, "iOS 16 has a known problem that may affect the activation of devices using the open Wi Fi network.". To solve this problem, Apple said that when initializing iOS, users should select "Connect to Mac or PC with iTunes" when prompted to connect to the Wi Fi network, then return to the previous screen and try again with Wi Fi until the activation is successful.
Apple pointed out in the memo thatthere is no official repair measure at present, and we have to say that the emergence of this Bug is very untimely, because today users around the world begin to receive their new iPhone 14 series.
It is worth mentioning that Apple has launched an iOS 16.0.1 update for the iPhone 14 series, which fixes the activation and migration issues during the setup. If you encounter problems activating iPhone 14, you may need to upgrade iOS 16.0.1 with a Mac or PC to fix this error and activate the new iPhone.
In addition, in a supporting document, Apple reminded new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro users that "iMessage and FaceTime may not be able to complete activation" and required them to update the new iPhone to iOS 16.0.1.
To be honest, it is a serious dereliction of duty for Apple to have such a serious problem during the official opening of Apple. However, thanks to the timely launch of iOS 16.0.1, this problem will not occur when the iPhone 14 series phones update iOS 16.0.1, which can be said to be a blessing in disguise.
