Comment on Apple releases iOS 15.8.7 to fix Coruna exploit for iPhone 6S from 2015

Comments

Notably these exploits were originally patched for newer devices in 2023 and 2024. However, the Coruna exploits are now publicly available because some of the IOC URLs mentioned in Google's recent blog post [1] were found to still be live. Jailbreakers are already repurposing the code to make web-based tools [2].

So when the exploit was discovered these phones were supposed to still receive security updates? And Apple decided to not patch these because what?

Thanks Google for forcing their hand.
