[apple-iphone] Re: [iomug] Apple Security Flaw

 

     I can't say I know much about security. I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.2 and an iPad 4 with 6.1.3. For the moment, I actually prefer the graphics of iOS 6 to 7, which is available for both. Are there any current security concerns that would argue strongly to upgrade to iOS 7 on either device? 

Thanks,

Dick Johnson
