A day before Microsoft's was set to publish its July 2018 Patch Tuesday, Apple has also released security patches. This month, the Cupertino-based OS maker has published fixes for products such as macOS, iOS, watchOs, tvOS, Safari, iCloud for Windows, and iTunes for Windows.
Since last month's security patch and before yesterday's new releases, the company also released security updates for Boot Camp, SwiftNIO, and XCode.
USB Restricted Mode ships to iOS 11.4.1
Most of the updates are bugfixes for security-related flaws. But new features have also been rolled out. By far the most headline-catching one is the addition of a "USB Restricted Mode" in iOS 11.4.1.
The new USB Restricted Mode is a feature that disables the USB port on iOS devices after an hour. To reactivate it, a user must enter the phone's security code.
