Apple’s chipset shipments increased to 18 pc in Q3 globally
Tech giant Apple’s chipset shipments increased to 18 per cent globally in the third quarter this year (from 13 per cent in Q2 2024), due to the launch of its A18 chipset.
Apple has released iOS 14.8 and iPadOS 14.8 for iPhone as well as for iPad users with an important security fix.
The iOS 14.8 update provides fixes for the CoreGraphics and WebKit vulnerabilities that Apple says may have been exploited.

To access the new software, go to Settings > General > Software Update. Apple has also released a new version of iPadOS 14, reports MacRumors.
In addition, Apple has also released watchOS 7.6.2 with similar security fixes for Apple Watch Series 3 and later.
Apple is expected to launch ‘iOS 15’ to the public soon and new iPhone 13 units will likely ship with a pre-installed version of the operating system, the report said.
Historically, Apple has released new iOS versions about a week after its September event, but ‘iOS 14’ was released one day after Apple’s September 15 “Time Flies” event in 2020.
This year’s “California Streaming” event is on Tuesday, which means if ‘iOS 14’ is any indicator of the company’s new release schedule, ‘iOS 15’ could come out as early as Wednesday.
