Yes, and what else we don't know about, thanks to their closed software? Yes, Apple just told us your fingerprint will be stored locally. So? Does that mean Ap

  I'm not going to say that your fingerprints won't fall into the wrong hands, but it's incredibly simple to monitor network traffic from the device, and it's a guarantee someone will do this just to see. It's also a guarantee that Apple knows this, so why bother lying?

  >That's the problem with closed software. That's also the problem with open software people get off of the internet/provider in binary form instead of compiling it themselves. That is, all software.

    For all practical concerns, downloading FOSS in binary form is not that worst compared to source code, unless you are willing to audit thousands of lines of code before compiling (and is competent enough). The exploit can even be hidden into the compiler itself, not in the source. I don't have a solution for this problem, I'm just commenting the fact that it is more complex than "compile from source" and that you have to draw a line somewhere unless you assemble your hardware from raw materials and write your own software.
