Apple issues iOS 9.3.5 software update for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Update: The update fixes a serious security exploit that exposed contacts, texts, calls, and emails.

Apple today released the iOS 9.3.5 software update for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The bug fix update follows the recent release of iOS 9.3.4, which closed a recent jailbreak hole, and iOS 9.3.3, which was tested for several weeks and also included bug fixes. iOS 9.3.5 could also be the last update to iOS 9 devices and the last iOS 9 update in general before iOS 10 is released this fall.

iOS 9.3.5 is described as an important security update and recommended for all users with compatible devices (anyone running iOS 9).
