iOS 15.3 is out now, and it fixes a nasty Safari bug
Apple is releasing iOS 15.3 and iPadOS 15.3 for compatible devices today. It’s a fairly minor update, but it does come with an essential security fix to patch a nasty Safari browser flaw.

Apple’s quick fix will be useful for iOS and iPadOS users, as, unlike macOS, you can’t simply switch to another browser on iOS to avoid the security flaw. Apple allows third-party browsers on iOS, but they all have to use the same Safari rendering engine.
iOS 15.3 doesn’t appear to include any additional features or obvious fixes. Apple last updated iOS with version 15.2, which included improvements for the iPhone 13 Pro’s macro mode, a $4.99 voice-only plan for Apple Music, a Digital Legacy program, and Apple’s App Privacy Report.
