IMO it's a persistent zero-day for 15.7.X devices. Even the latest webkit vulnerability was fixed for iOS 16, but not iOS 15[1].

Additionally, I know this latest update did not happen on iOS 15 because (1) my phone did not receive an update, and (2) I am still seeing the sudden shut down and reboot activity when my battery is between 20-30% (as described by the webkit vulnerabilities as indication of an exploit).

However, according to Apple, iOS 16 is on 81% of all iPhones[2]. So I guess that means only 20% of mobile devices users are "targetable"? Lucky me...

Also, I will suggest that US Government officials NOT have older iPhones which do not support iOS 16. Seriously.
