I have to say, while not a huge fan of apple…
Most of these hacks I’ve seen seem to have long been patched out.
I still feel iPhones are largely more secure overall even if simply because on average I’m pretty confident the fleet of iPhones in use are using much more up to date software than android devices.
Why am I hearing about iPhone attacks so much recently? But none on android?
Probably because this is @technology, where everyone is obsessed with apple because they would never use it.
People here fucking haaaaate Apple. As a person with servers, a bunch of computers I’ve built myself, and an iPhone/iPad… it’s quite funny to me.
I think it’s mostly just been this one hack that keeps getting reported on because of how impressive it was. Apparently people are still discovering noteworthy things about it.
Not that there aren’t others. Software is ever-moving. This one has just been especially interesting.
Android is compromised by design. It’s not newsworthy.
Hidden hardware feature.
Not a backdoor at all.
