Release notes
What changed
Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.
The user-facing note singles out FaceTime reliability: the update fixed a condition that prevented calls from completing for some people, while leaving the rest of the maintenance package undescribed.[1]
Apple separately documented an App Store authorization flaw in which a signed-in user could complete a prompted transaction without supplying the requested password; additional checks enforced that authorization step.[2]
