This may also illustrate their priority to reintroduce the same bug and re-fix it at faster speeds to wow their fanbase. Or you know the priority may also be keeping the walled garden - walled? Also it might just be security response 101 - like every other major OS vendor out there depending on the bug. But yeah privacy and security for users that's a much nicer marketing pitch.
- api 6y agoJailbreaking is not a threat to the walled garden. The majority of users want the walls there to protect them from malware and crappy software breaking their device. The obvious market preference for managed devices that "just work" is lost on the HN crowd because most of us belong to a different market with different preferences. My reading is that this bug could potentially allow apps to install rootkits. The speed of the fix tells me maybe it's being exploited that way right now in the wild. BTW MacOS got the fix in record time too in spite of it being far less strictly walled than iOS. That supports my suspicion that this bug is being used in nasty ways.
