Nothing guarantees that. There have been RCE exploits on iOS. One could argue that live patching allowed companies to fix or mitigate security problems faster

Nothing guarantees that. There have been RCE exploits on iOS.
One could argue that live patching allowed companies to fix or mitigate security problems faster than Apples (awful) app store policy (and timescale) would otherwise allow.
- nothrabannosir 10y agoNothing guarantees nothing. Life is ephemeral and we're all going to die. Yet, we can say that code review by a third party is better for trust of that code, than no code review by a third party. "Nothing guarantees" may have been strong. but "the set of attack vectors and their relative efficacy increases " doesn't roll off the tongue quite as nicely.
