Anyone else noticing a notable difference in how your iPhone

or Mac device works after installing the 14.8 iOS security patch ?
I was having several issues on my new 6 SE (almost 1 year old), the worst being that everyday,EVERYDAY it would just not connect to the internet between 2-3 or 3-4 pm no matter how I tried, it would not connect to DU or any word other site,
and if I clicked the X to stop the attempt to connect, Firefox showed it was still attempting loading (spinning icon) that I couldn’t stop …
I also spent the last week at several places with WiFi trying to update to iOS 14.7
with no success… and the last little weird thing was whenever I plugged my fone in to charge overnite, or during day, it would create a static noise on my tv it was near … even with the tv muted it would emit static …

So downloaded 14.8 last nite from a secure Wifi and installed, and now it works like new, no dead times, no static, zippy loading webpages etc …

So now I wonder if I had that security issue on my fone all along

3 Mac laptops, 2 iPhones (12) and a brand new iPad Air. Everything works great!

My only problem with it was, if I didn't take it out of phone mode it would butt dial someone. So far so good.
Have to check if I need it on my desk top. OS-X-EI Captan 10.11.6, wonder if it needs it?

I was telling a friend how to make homemade vanilla using a vanilla bean and vodka. Right after that conversation I went to the Weather Channel and there was an ad for Smirnoff Vodka. Showed my friend and he said it must be listening to you. Freaky.
