Apple marks 50 years and releases security updates for iPhones

Apple is celebrating its 50th anniversary, with many articles looking back at its journey from a garage startup to a major technology company. The coverage highlights its influence on health technology with products like the Apple Watch and notes a recent 84% jump in new apps on its App Store.

Separately, Apple has released security fixes for older iPhones and iPads to protect them from a hacking tool called DarkSword. The company is also pushing out rare 'backported' patches to protect users of the latest iOS 18 software from the same threat.
