    Don't know for sure, but I think that is why it is labeled Emergency Call?

    If someone (unauthorized) already has your phone that is probably the least of your worries.

    Wonder why the world is only ever black and white for trolls, you know?

    Irrelevant. The sequence of actions is entirely unpredictable by any reasonable and customary user actions.

    Nonsense. Some one did it. After two days.

    EDIT: and if you going to come back with - one person out of millions - the kind of guys who try this are a tiny fraction of total users. So a tester in apple could have found it were he allowed to.

    Yea ok. 

    :no:

     

    Find something worthy of complaining about. I see nothing wrong with any of it.

    Lol, so now I'm a troll?   I point out that you are making a pretty irrational argument rather than simply admit that Apple made a mistake- and instead you insult the original poster that pointed out you weren't making much sense and call me a troll too.

     

    Whatever floats your boat I guess.

    Or dial any number you want with the "dial"command.  But this is not a bug either.   "Siri" is one of the options under "Allow access when locked"  Easily disabled.   


     

    "Dial" and "call" do the same thing.

    Don’t recall calling you one.

     

    …Apple made a mistake


     

    Ah, but did they?

    I am soooo looking forward to the print reader.  I'd at least set it to auto lock after the maximum time limit, but my corp email invokes password security with instant locking on the phone, it's mandatory.  So, I have to unlock my phone countless times a day.

     

    I find the new slide to unlock in 7 much better as you can slide anywhere on the screen, plus the new keypad though too simple and lackluster for me, is much easier to peck at.  Just hoping it works well, and for at least one year, till the 6 comes out!

    In other news: On the 3rd lion roar in Wizard of OZ, press play on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Discovered this flaw the other day.

    I was the same way until my iPhone was stolen and the thief had access to all my data & emails.

    Are you certain this issue didn't exist previously? Perhaps this defect has existed for years. Perhaps this defect has existed since early iOS 7 betas and only now publicly released.

    There are millions of 10 character permutations from the lock screen. Some have stated that they can't replicate the issue so perhaps there are other dependencies as well. Are you seriously suggesting that Apple should test all of them? If so, then should Apple test 20 character permutations and 30 character permutations?

    I'm most impressed by the room light turning on the instant the iPhone crashed/rebooted/whatever. Is that a hidden feature of iOS7? Did AI reproduce that behavior as well?

    There are many videos on YouTube that show this glitch existing for at least the past year.
