Since Apple’s older smartphone generations are still extremely popular and widespread today, the Californian company decided to publish an update for older iOS versions too. This makes it possible for users who have an iPhone that only has the iOS version 12, you will be able to install the Corona-Warn-App on your device in the future. First, however, the update to version 12. 5 must be carried out will. This means that iPhone 6 or 5s owners, among others, have the option of using the app mentioned.

The latest update also installs security updates that are recommended for all Apple users. So owners of older iPhones should also check the system update for a possible update.

Already in November 2020 we reported that the Corona warning app has received a major update. The current version 1.7.1 was initially only distributed to all iPhone owners. The RKI announced at the time that it had decided on a slow rollout in order to avoid possible complications. The benefits of the Corona warning app can still be argued. Ultimately, it depends on the individual users whether a confirmed infection is also reported in the app. Here it happens again and again that infected people do not send an infection report.

Updates from both the manufacturer and the developers ensure that more people can use the app, but the Corona warning app does not prevent a second wave and the associated renewed lockdown. On Wednesday 16. December 2020 there will be a renewed tightening of the countermeasures that are preventing the spread of the COVID – 19 – Virus is supposed to slow down. Whether the procedure will actually bear fruit and the number of cases will decline will only be clarified in the coming weeks.
