However, not so impressive that the bug was there in the first place..... again !!

In fairness though, security bugs like this are not exclusive to iPhone.

It should have been picked up in beta testing, the betas have been around for a while. wink

 

Of course it may have been picked up on but held back until the official rollout just to embarrass Apple, but Apple have been quick to rollout the fix.

iPhone 14 Pro (O2 ), S23U (EE), iPad Pro LTE (EE), .

Absolutely not. Android suffers much worse but doesn't get the press that Apple does.

 

Makes the Android folks think their OS is bullet proof 😛

 

( I use both btw, both have pro's and cons )
