What about iOS 17 Public Beta?

No idea. I wouldn’t trust it right now though.

Seeing as it’s not iOS 16, should be fine. But I’m sure they’d put a patch out for the beta if the risk was that high for it as well.

Anything published before today, while this was a zero-day, should be considered vulnerable.

So the hacker hacks your phone with his mind?
