My devices said I'm up to date with 14.8, and that 15 is an option. (This morning 10/13) After a typical wild goose chase with an Apple rep (through messaging) only willing to tell me about the wonderful iOS 15 upgrade curing all ills, I ultimately asked "So, since I am not seeing and bugs or issues with 14.8, and since my devices are telling me I'm up to date (w/ 14.8), you are telling me that upgrading to 15 is optional and that my phone is secure as it is now. Right?"


Apple: "Yes, you will keep getting security updates while being on iOS 14 also."


Yet Forbes reported this morning that Apple hasn't discussed the existence of a 14.8 update yet.

Thanks for the info!


As of 12 Oct 2021, Apple hasn't updated the National Vulnerability Database with affected software versions. And the CVE database also has very little info in it too.

Thanks again.
