Apple is developing a new system allowing critical system component updates without requiring device reboots,according to a report by 9to5mac. This advancement necessitates a new security model, though it remains unclear if this advancement is connected to strategies from Germany’s BSI (Federal office for Information Security) or if both changes will be implemented concurrently.
the forthcoming iOS 26 is poised to introduce this capability,enhancing security and user experience by eliminating downtime for essential updates. Currently, many system-level changes demand a full reboot, creating inconvenience and potential security vulnerabilities during the restart process. This new approach aims to address these issues, allowing for seamless and immediate security enhancements.The feature is also expected to extend beyond iOS, with potential implementation across other Apple platforms, including macOS.
