Overview

Editorial synthesis with inline references and a source ledger when citations are available.

iOS 8.1.2 was a narrow maintenance update whose only itemized consumer change restored access to purchased iTunes Store ringtones that had disappeared from a device.[1]

Apple’s security bulletin says 8.1.2 includes the security content of 8.1.1 rather than documenting a new security delta, so no inherited vulnerability repair is duplicated as an 8.1.2 change.[2][3]
