Are we expecting an update on the 15th?

There's a new Bluetooth vulnerability that was announced by armis called Blueborne, which if or when it's used will be pretty serious. https://www.armis.com/blueborne/.

I don't generally worry that much about vulnerabilities, because I know what to click on, what not to, etc. And I don't go to suspicious sites. But this thing can be put on your device or any Bluetooth device without you doing anything other than having Bluetooth on. The perpetrator or an infected device has to be within 33 feet of you.

Google sorted out the vulnerability in their September security update. Microsoft did this in July, while Apple addressed it with iOS 10.3.

My Note 8 is on the August update. I'm hoping that since tomorrow is the official release date, it will be updated to September. If you read the article, pretty scary stuff.

Dude, we haven't received our phone yet, and you are talking about updates. This is like rubbing salt into wounds.

Sorry, not trying to do that.

You're in the forum for a phone people already have.

I got mine when I woke up this morning, but it doesn't include the September security update unfortunately.

Updated this morning was well. Battery life was decent before update, here's to hoping update didn't break anything lol

Verizon update includes the Bluetooth vulnerability fix, but I don't see anything about the rumored camera improvements...

I received the exact same update from Sprint after a manual check this morning.

Interesting. Does yours say September security update along with addressing Blueborne? I ask because after the T-Mobile update I'm on August still, but I do have the same exact build number, NMF26X.N950USQU1AQ15.

Looks like the update brought back the coloring app a lot of us didn't have
