Or fuzzing? Why is it that Google's Project Zero has to point out their mistakes for them? Apple's complacency on security is infuriating.

- deregulateMed 5y agoApple doesn't admit wrong doing. Take their multi year long denial of butterfly keyboard issues. The key to user satisfaction isn't security, it's consistent marketing reminders of "security". Apple users here are often forced into the ecosystem due to iOS or safari dev, but the majority of Apple users care more about the name of the iPhone than performance. This is the nature of Veblen goods.

- robin_reala 5y agoThat’s a bit of a weird framing. Project Zero point out mistakes in Google’s products too. It’s just that they’re visible. The assumption has to be that Apple quietly fixes minimum a hundred times more security bugs in their products, than the ones the occasional Project Zero blog post highlights.
- fmajid 5y agoGiven their lackadaisical approach to bug reports filed by external researchers, and their grudging payments on their own bug bounty program, I think you are giving them far more credit than they deserve.
