Is there any working being done to modernize those protocols? I'm sure Apple can demand that by a given timeframe, a new standard has to be supported or else new iphone won't work on the carrier's network (and which carrier would not want iphones to work on their network?). It's not like Apple is afraid of such things. I'm sure if apple implemented them, google/samsung would follow within 1 or 2 years.
In the meantime, is there a refactor/rewrite of that '90 code bash that is full of bugs and unused functions? And if so, do any phone manufactures use that improve "firmware"?
- ethbro 10y agoAs noted in the article, Apple/Google have nothing to do with this problem and little reason to care until widespread reports of spoofed towers hacking people's phones start making the front page. This is on the RF manufacturers: Qualcomm, MediaTek, Spreadtrum, Samsung LSI & HiSilicon (Huawei).
