Will wait until this becomes stable update if I can.  Wondering how long this went through their QA department 

That's your prerogative. However, consider that this Rapid Response update is designed to get high priority fixes out Ito users, well, rapidly. To me, that means that something is pretty urgent to use this mechanism.

But to intelligently make the decision whether the update is worth the risk, you need to know what the update fixes. It is pathetic that Apple has not provided documentation to say exactly what this update fixes. The link in the update points to a generic document telling you what Rapid Security Response updates are, but zero about what this one contains. 

It is a good thing they give a mechanism to back it out. That's due to them using the cryptex mechanism - where the update is somewhat "containerized" and getting rid of it isn't as big a deal as removing a whole operating system update.

either way it will require MFi to unlock its potential

I’m baffled that AppleInsider doesn’t seem to understand the importance and value of MFi !

—in short, the MFi program is ’s attempt at making sure iPhone users are able to avoid compatibility issues due to cheap accessories, which are advertised as USB X.X compliant, but as a result of the USB-consortiums deliberate certification process, these accessories are truly “spec-compliant”, but deliver nonetheless inferior performance.

And who might the fellas that suffers these totally unnecessary problems direct their anger toward?

—it ain’t the no-name manufacturer of the damn cable!

 should be applauded for its MFi initiative.

What exactly does a folding smartphone do for a customer that a regular non-folding one do? It's more of just shit that will eventually break. You can only fold them so many times before they wear out.
