  • Apple's T2 chip has an unfixable vulnerability that could allow root access

    I’m more interested in whether Apple will take this wake up call, and take steps to prevent such a blunder with the forthcoming Apple Silicon systems.
    The problem is already fixed in the A12 chip and beyond, so it's unlikely Apple will reintroduce the bug in their ARM Macs.  Their developers' edition has an A12Z, so even it should be immune.

    One more reason for Apple to keep one cheap iPhone/iPad in line up to outpace old vulnerable devices  or push them among users they do not care or would use Android otherwise.

    That’s right. “Apple security” All the inconvenience, trouble and pain, and still this happens. Definitely not worth it. T2chip has been nothing but a troublesome, miserable disaster. Huge failure. Sad. 

    There is one great advantage of buying older hardware. You know what are you buying as all or most issues are known and price is set by offer and demand. It is not solution for all but for some.

  • Facebook is pushing for Apple to open up default messaging app options

    frantisekfrantisek
    What would be really needed is GSM consortium creates universal IP based messaging protocol like iMessage to extend SMS functionality and take over SMS in future.

  • Apple says potential EU Apple Pay rules threaten security, stifle innovation

    I think it's Apple that doesn't understand at least part of the problem.

    And as things stand, nothing has been approved or formalised.

    The EU stance is clear. Apple shouldn't have any issue with it and it has zero to do with stifling innovation (and innovation cannot come before competition rules anyway).

    Apple has to offer something to reflect its own stance but this statement is very poor.

    If, the EU decides that Apple is restricting competition (and that's a big if) its options are clear and simple. 

    Absolute unacceptable any of banking mafia got access to my transaction again and any info now protected by Apple Pay. If they get access then will never offer same privacy. Never ever.

  • Apple A14 Bionic announcement hints at 'iPhone 12' performance

    frantisekfrantisek
    We should understand that this unusual announcement of A14 prior to iPhone.

    So we can be sure Apple haven't told us all about it so they have something to amaze people when unveiling iPhone 12.
    Power efficiency and examples of its powerful Neural Engine and ISP chip at least
