iOS 11.2.2 has the performance compared to that of iOS 11.2.1 after the Meltdown and Specter vulnerabilities were resolved including on iPhone phones.

iOS 11.2.2 was launched on Monday by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, the main reason for releasing the update being the desire to completely block the Meltdown and Specter vulnerabilities. Apple had already blocked Meltdown in iOS iOS 11.2.1, and now it has completely blocked Specter in iOS 11.2.2, so iPhone users are completely safe when surfing the Internet.

iOS 11.2.2 reduces iPhone performance when it comes to surfing the Internet using Safari, but the impact is only 2.5% and this in some tests, others not showing any impact. Leaving aside Safari, iOS 11.2.2 does not perform worse than iOS 11.2.1, on the contrary, the video clips below show us exactly the opposite for Apple phones.

iOS 11.2.2 performs at least as well as iOS 11.2.1 when it comes to using the iPhone, Apple managing to block Meltdown and Specter without reducing iPhone performance. The achievement is impressive considering that the company is criticized from all sides anyway for the decision to limit iPhone performance due to battery degradation, but iOS 11.2.2 has nothing to do with that.

iOS 11.2.2 is an update designed to solve important security issues and my recommendation is to install it without reservation, because there is no reason to avoid it at the moment. iOS 11.2.2 is an update that you must have installed on your phones and I recommend that you install it right now on your phones.
