Apple released iOS and iPadOS updates for older devices including iPhone 6s, iPad Air 2, and iPod touch (7th generation) to address the recently disclosed Coruna exploit. The security patch targets vulnerabilities that Google and iVerify researchers revealed last week, which chained multiple exploits to compromise iPhones running older iOS versions.
The Coruna exploit specifically targeted legacy iOS devices that no longer receive regular security updates, highlighting ongoing risks for users of older Apple hardware. This emergency patch demonstrates Apple's commitment to protecting devices released nearly a decade ago, though such retroactive fixes are increasingly rare.
Meanwhile, Google announced Game Trials for Google Play, allowing users to test paid mobile games before purchasing. The feature shows a "Try" button on game profile pages, with trial periods varying by title—for example, the horror game Dredge offers 60 minutes of free gameplay before requiring purchase or deletion.
Google also unveiled additional Play Store features including more indie game releases, a PC-optimized games section, and the rollout of Play Games Sidekick, its Gemini-powered AI overlay that provides in-game assistance and information without requiring separate searches.
