shows picture of an iPhone 4/4s
I mean probably the singular best model to date. When the retina screen dropped… wow. I miss Steve 🫶
Good phone aside from “you’re holding it wrong”
You know. That was a lot of nothing. My buddies BB did it. Worse. He dropped totally cupping his phone.
But how Steve handled it was amazing. I was happy with my new phone. And free bumper. And not a dropped call.
I think the scuffgate on the 5 was waaaaaayyy worse. Literally every phone they were cracking open had dings. Like bad ones. That kicked up a lot less dust than I felt it should
So the hacker hacks your phone with his mind?
At a very high level: the attacker sends a picture which somehow is opened by Apple Wallet and leads to the execution of arbitrary code (this is the vulnerability, in how the wallet parses the picture, allowing for a buffer overflow), deactivation of certain security features and download/execution of the malicious payload.
“If you have one”? What’s the point of that insert?
To stop all the assholes coming in and haughtily talk about how they have an Android phone.
If you have an Android phone, you’ll need to update it asap too because Google just released a security update for a zero-day vulnerability.
I misread the title and thought it said “You Need to Update Your Phone [if you have one], Right now”, which I found quite strange, then started reading the post and was like “Hey, but I have an Android, do you assume everyone has an iPhone now?”… So here I am anyway.
I thought people stopped debating religion online, it seems very 2013
What about iOS 17 Public Beta?
Seeing as it’s not iOS 16, should be fine. But I’m sure they’d put a patch out for the beta if the risk was that high for it as well.
I’ve put my phone in lockdown mode until a new beta comes out. Not much functionality lost
Anything published before today, while this was a zero-day, should be considered vulnerable.
No idea. I wouldn’t trust it right now though.
There’s no update for older iPhones or Macs yet.
