The Indian govt has issued its new alert for a wide range of Apple devices<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Apple users are facing one of their biggest security issues which has even alerted the Indian government this month. The company has released new updates for a slew of devices and it is vital that millions of iPhone 16, iPad Air and most of the MacBook models are upgraded to the next version to protect themselves from possible hacking threats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has issued the alert with a high severity rating, dated September 16, 2025. The new warning is likely to worry a major chunk of iPhones, iPads, Apple Watch series and Mac users. The good news is that the iPhone 17 series which goes on sale from later this week, is not affected by any of these risks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a detailed look at the vulnerability, which devices are impacted and how to secure your iPhone from possible threats.<\/span><\/p>\n
