  Point me at some of this 'false advertising' then, please? No-one (at least, no-one reputable) claims that anything is 100% secure. You'll only hear that a product feature makes it 'more secure'. And that's still (slightly) true, since you could reasonably argue: 1) Even with an exploit, hackers have to do some extra work to bypass the feature. 2) The product was more secure for a time, until the exploit was discovered.

  > Didn't this become false advertising? I don't think this counts as false advertising. "False advertising" is the colloquial phrase but the actual law uses terms like "misleading" or "deceptive": > The FTC Act prohibits unfair or deceptive advertising in any medium. That is, advertising must tell the truth and not mislead consumers. A claim can be misleading if relevant information is left out or if the claim implies something that's not true[1]. So maybe if Apple made some very strong statements to the tune of "This T2 chip will absolutely never ever be hacked, its impossible", that might be misleading. I suspect the Apple legal team is a little more clever than that, though. General marketing fluff like "This car is good, you should buy this car" doesn't count as false advertising if your car breaks down. I think this falls into that category.
