Unfortunate that this researcher, shame on apple for not handling these vulnerabilities quickly.
I used to believe that iphones were more secure than android and was considering making the switch. After reading this article and with some other recent news (CSAM[1], spam on the app store[2]) I don't think I'll be hopping on the iOS train anytime soon.

- tonmoy 5y agoWhile Apple's recent behavior does seem bad, I'm personally wondering if there is some quantitate measure comparing iOS/Android before I make the opposite switch. I wonder if iOS still may be more privacy friendly compared to alternatives regardless of the recent issue (I genuinely have no clue)
- raman162 5y agoIMO, that seems like apple but the lines are getting closer than ever
- jgimenez 5y agoI think they're at least trying! All the vulnerabilities mentioned can be found with static analysis, which Apple is doing before accepting an app into the store. I'm pretty sure if you pack one of these 0-days in your app, it will get rejected. So as for now, this is a theoretical exercise, unless proven that this code has actually been shipped to the store.
