A better title might be "Apple fixes iOS bug that would let a single Flipper Zero perform Denial of Service attacks against every iPhone in it's radius."

- atlas_hugged 3y agoSeriously. What a generous title.
- Someone 3y agoIf you don’t know beforehand what “Flipper Zero” is, you can also see it as disingenuous towards Apple (“Big Evil Apple harassed another small company”, rather than “Apple fixed a security issue”)
- filterfiber 3y agoI don't know why the title even mentions the flipper. The attack can be done from any device that can send crafted BLE packets including laptops/android phones, etc. Apple just fixed a BLE DOS attack.
- atlas_hugged 3y agoRight exactly what I was thinking. It’s just weird that it was worded with the vibe of: “Apple defeated a nefarious adversary for the good of mankind. Thank you Tim Apple!” I’m not an Apple hater, don’t get me wrong. I’m writing this from my iPhone. I guess I’m just finally starting to get a little bothered by the ring kissing stuff that has to be done to remain on the FAANG+ allow list. I’ve started using ChatGPT to summarize the articles for me more and more lately. So this will be less and less of an issue for me once I find a way to do it more reliably.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 3y agoMore like "Apple patches easily exploitable bug after two years."
- atlas_hugged 3y agoActually yeah, I vote for this one.
- slowhand09 3y agoi prefer "Gizmodo sensationalizes Apple bug fix by naming FlipperZero"
