Apple releases iOS 9.3.5 – fixes important security flaws

Yesterday, Apple released an important update for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Apple has been busy releasing earlier update in the last few weeks – just 3 weeks ago Apple released iOS 9.3.4 and this weeks iOS 9.3.5 is available for download now.
