iPhone users have been facing issues with their internet access after a recent Apple update. The update, called Rapid Security Response, reportedly caused problems with web page displays for some Mac and iPhone users. Specifically, users experienced changes to Safari access, which affected their ability to use sites like Zoom, Facebook, and Instagram as normal.

Security Fix Rollback

The troublesome update, which was released as an emergency security fix, was intended to protect against a cyber bug called CVE-2023-37450. This bug, according to experts, could potentially allow hackers to run commands or code on a target machine, thereby gaining control over the victim's device. Apple, in an online statement, warned users that this security flaw may have already been "actively exploited".

Initially recommended for all users, the security update was rolled back mere hours after its release due to the issues it caused with popular websites in the Safari browser.

What to Do if You Downloaded the Update

If you were quick to download the faulty security update, there's no need to worry. Apple has provided instructions on how to remove it from your device:

For iPhone users: open Settings > General > About, then tap on the iOS or iPadOS Version. This will reveal an option to remove the Security Response update.

For MacBook and Mac computer users: visit System Settings > General > About, scroll down to macOS, and click on the 'i' information button. This will open a "Last Security Response" window with the option to remove the update and restart your machine.
