Direct quote: *"A massive security hole has been found in iOS 11"*
As always, Apple didn't find the bug.
Although, usually google finds Apple's bugs, this one was found by Mac
Magazine.
The exploit has been in place since iOS 11.2.6 and has been left unpatched
in all six developer and public betas of iOS 11.3, and it's expected that
iOS 11.3 will ship with this massive hole, just like the Broadcom bug
shipped with massive holes that Apple knew about and had the patches for.
Yet again, we'll see if Apple touts a "security update" that they /know/
has massive holes in it so big you can drive a bus through them.
Just wait.
Watch 11.3 to see if they patch this bug or if they just tell everyone who
wants to /feel/ safe that it's a safety update...
I only speak fact.
Just watch.

Marketing is a wonderful thing and consumer herd mentality is even better.
What do you get out of lying, God?
Generally, I don't call a claim like God's comments a fantasy right up until you invalidate it and he responds with the same thing again with one of his socks. If God calls having his ass handed to him day in and day out by Aragorn and me (and completely destroying his name and any reason for anyone to trust anything he has to say - until the cows come home) successful 'trolling', then fine... he is a magnificent troll. I do not personally accept that meaning, I use another term. I call that person a total dunce. God is the outcome of the truth that Trotskyists have been appointed to take the lead in indoctrinating children. It's not an accident that he is a mindless socialist.

Yeah, I remember that goof up. Cue similar memories of macOS High Sierra
allowing anyone to authenticate with an empty password. Oops! : D
Of course both o those are far worse than Siri simply reading a couple
notifications from the lock screen (which can easily be disabled in
Settings), which is relatively benign in contrast. But clearly "adults"
like "Ragnusen" say we should ignore that, because: troll!! ; )

If I didn't know better (thanks to "Ragnusen"), I'd say bugs and
security vulnerabilities exist *everywhere* in the real world regardless
of platform. But hey, who am I trying to kid, right? "Adults" like
"Ragnusen" ain't got no time for facts! ; )

Why would you want to cap all programs on open source tools to what can be done on Macs?
No one who isn't just using you for trolling goals (isn't a shill) sees you as anything remotely close to good. You have few but Autumn Nissen (https://www.facebook.com/anissen7) to blame for that. I am working on code which will be more than anything Autumn Nissen (https://www.facebook.com/anissen7) can do! By listening to 'media talking heads' like that you get terms like 'culture wars'. Carried to its (ir)rational solution, the insistence that it's 'gross' for a conservative male to not wish to screw a man who identifies as a woman is pushed.

Facebook has been collecting call history and SMS data from Android devices
iOS devices appear to be unaffected
Facebook has been collecting call records and SMS data from Android devices
for years. Several Twitter users have reported finding months or years of
call history data in their downloadable Facebook data file. A number of
Facebook users have been spooked by the recent Cambridge Analytica privacy
scandal, prompting them to download all the data that Facebook stores on
their account. The results have been alarming for some.
“Oh wow my deleted Facebook Zip file contains info on every single phone
cellphone call and text I made for about a year,” says Twitter user Mat
Johnson. Another, Dylan McKay, says “somehow it has my entire call history
with my partner’s mum.” Others have found a similar pattern where it
appears close contacts, like family members, are the only ones tracked in
Facebook’s call records.
Ars Technica reports that Facebook has been requesting access to contacts,
SMS data, and call history on Android devices to improve its friend
recommendation algorithm and distinguish between business contacts and your
true personal friendships. Facebook appears to be gathering this data
through its Messenger application, which often prompts Android users to
take over as the default SMS client. Facebook has, at least recently, been
offering an opt-in prompt that prods users with a big blue button to
“continuously upload” contact data, including call and text history. It’s
not clear when this prompt started appearing in relation to the historical
data gathering, and whether it has simply been opt-in the whole time.
Either way, it’s clearly alarmed some who have found call history data
stored on Facebook’s servers.
...
The same call record and SMS data collection has not yet been discovered on
iOS devices. While Apple does allow some specialist apps to access this
data in limited ways like blocking spam calls or texts, these apps have to
be specifically enabled through a process that’s similar to enabling
third-party keyboards. The majority of iOS apps cannot access call history
or SMS messages, and Facebook’s iOS app is not able to capture this data on
an iPhone.

Did any of you notice how all of you Apple users (except Ant) acted
instantly like little children in this thread?
None of you noticed you all (except Ant) act like little *CHILDREN*?
Really?
I only speak facts.
The Apple user is clearly /afraid/ of facts, such that, as you see in this
very thread, the Apple user acts like children act, when merely confronted
with the inconvenient fact that Apple screwed up, yet again.
You Apple posters, all but Ant, act like children when confronted with
inconvenient fact.
1. You deny that it's a security hole (Jolly Roger)
2. You blame Android bugs for everything (nospam)
3. You ignore hundreds of millions are affected (Hemidactylus)
etc.
What I always find revealing about Apple users is that you always act as
children do, children whose hands are caught in the cookie jar, where you
blame everyone else for the obvious fact that Apple doesn't test their
software sufficiently.
Worse, Apple knows full well that you childish users /feel/ safe only when
you get an iOS release, whether or not you're actually safe.
You see, I've learned from all of you children that it makes you /feel/
safe to get release after release after release after release after
release, even though the truth is that it's a buggy release after a buggy
release after a buggy release after a buggy release, ad infinitum.
Since you act like children, it's the sheer /number/ of releases that makes
you /feel/ safe, so I wasn't surprised one bit when nospam blamed Android
for Apple's bugs, nor when Jolly Roger and the rest of the Apple apologists
minimized what amounts to a pretty big security hole if you're not aware of
it, even at the same time that these same people tout the "security" of the
iOS device against a frontal assuault from state-sponsored adversaries.
If all it takes is a single query to break into any iOS 11.x iOS device if
the hundreds of millions of users don't turn off, then it's not all that
"safe" a platform, is it?

Bug #3: http://i.cubeupload.com/oOyG3n.jpg
It's clear from all the bugs that we've seen that Apple doesn't test the
iOS platform, but what's even more clear is that Apple has a history of
shipping releases that they /know/ have holes in them so big you can drive
a bus through them (witness the broadcom bug fiasco for one example, where
Apple had tens of millions of people install it and then Apple begged them
to not to only 10 days later, while Apple had the fix in hand BEFORE they
shipped either release!).
The point is simple, which is that Apple users /want/ to feel safe, even
though they're not safe. The Apple user is like a child whose mother tells
him that the monster can't get out of the closet if you close the closet
door at night.
Apple users /feel/ safe, and users like nospam tell us how great the
security is such that it makes them /feel/ safe, and yet, they're /not/
safe.

Did any of you notice how all of you Apple users (except Ant) acted
instantly like little children in this thread?
None of you noticed you all (except Ant) act like little *CHILDREN*?
Really?
I only speak facts.
The Apple user is clearly /afraid/ of facts, such that, as you see in this
very thread, the Apple user acts like children act, when merely confronted
with the inconvenient fact that Apple screwed up, yet again.
You Apple posters, all but Ant, act like children when confronted with
inconvenient fact.
1. You deny that it's a security hole (Jolly Roger)
2. You blame Android bugs for everything (nospam)
3. You ignore hundreds of millions are affected (Hemidactylus)
etc.
What I always find revealing about Apple users is that you always act as
children do, children whose hands are caught in the cookie jar, where you
blame everyone else for the obvious fact that Apple doesn't test their
software sufficiently.
Worse, Apple knows full well that you childish users /feel/ safe only when
you get an iOS release, whether or not you're actually safe.
You see, I've learned from all of you children that it makes you /feel/
safe to get release after release after release after release after
release, even though the truth is that it's a buggy release after a buggy
release after a buggy release after a buggy release, ad infinitum.
Since you act like children, it's the sheer /number/ of releases that makes
you /feel/ safe, so I wasn't surprised one bit when nospam blamed Android
for Apple's bugs, nor when Jolly Roger and the rest of the Apple apologists
minimized what amounts to a pretty big security hole if you're not aware of
it, even at the same time that these same people tout the "security" of the
iOS device against a frontal assuault from state-sponsored adversaries.
If all it takes is a single query to break into any iOS 11.x iOS device if
the hundreds of millions of users don't turn off, then it's not all that
"safe" a platform, is it?
I only speak facts.

The real problem is multi-fold, in that it's a *series* of issues that,
together, make this iOS release so insecure you can drive a bus through it.
The first problem is that Apple has a long history of touting a release as
secure even when they /know/ that it has vulnerabilities so big you can
drive a bus through (witness the broadcom shipment of iOS 10.x when APple
had the fix in hand, but didn't tell anyone). Only 10 days later Apple had
to /destroy/ the release they called a 'security update'.
Why did Apple ship a release that they had a fix for that they knew was
hugely insecure? Nobody knows, but I suspect they know that the user just
wants to /feel/ safe, and not actually be safe, so, the more releases of
iOS that Apple ships, the safer it makes the user feel.
This sentiment is backed up, by the way, by what Craig Federighi pulicly
admitted last month, which is basically that iOS is buggy as all hell 9way
below his standards, and he's the SVP of software engineering!) simply
because Marketing drives the release schedule, not engineering.
The second problem is that tens of millions, and perhaps hundreds of
millions of people do /not/ know about this huge security vulnerability,
and while Jolly Roger and nospam and Hemidactylus try to minimize that
inconvenient fact (with nospam always blaming Android for iOS' bugs), it's
a fact nonetheless.
How many of those people /know/ that there is yet another security hole so
big you can drive a bus through it on /multiple/ releases of iOS?
Notice how Jolly Roger always claims to be a veritable genius because he
knows how to work around the bug - but the point is that Jolly Roger
wouldn't even /know/ about the bug if I didn't tell him about it.
That's a huge security hole, don't you think?
There are plenty of other problems with this issue, not the least of which
is, yet again, someone else found Apple's bugs, simply because it's a fact
that Apple never tests their products in the real world.
In fact, I personally found 3 iOS-related bugs just this week, and I'm not
even looking for iOS bugs!
Bug #1: http://i.cubeupload.com/B43i82.jpg
Bug #2: http://i.cubeupload.com/ttkrOV.jpg
http://i.cubeupload.com/knsgL0.jpg
Bug #3: http://i.cubeupload.com/oOyG3n.jpg
You could argue they're not critical security vulnerabilities, but I find
Bug #2: http://i.cubeupload.com/ttkrOV.jpg
http://i.cubeupload.com/knsgL0.jpg
Bug #3: http://i.cubeupload.com/oOyG3n.jpg
bugs in iOS all the timn, where I'm just a basic user.
For example, I installed an app that can't be uninstalled without having to
factory reset the iOS device (see above). What's with that?
Anyway, what I find happens every single time with the other iOS users (not
you) is that they deny that this is a serious bug, all the while folks like
nospam blame Android and at the same time nospam touts the "security" of
iOS to a frontal assault by a state-sponsored adversary.
Do you, Ant, see the sheer inconsistency of what people like nospam do?
Or is it just me?

And that hundreds of millions of others don't know about the bug.

And that Apple apparently has no plans to fix it in the short term.
And that it's a security hole big enough to drive a bus through.
And that Apple, yet again, didn't find their own bugs (as always).

Notice that you, Jolly Roger, essentially claim that you're a genius simply
because you think it's easy to turn off a security hole so big that a bus

people around the world don't know about this bug so their phones are wide
open at this very moment - and - worse - even after the next buggy iOS
release (according to the news reports).
And yet, instead of thanking me for showing you a huge security hole in
your own iOS device, Jolly Roger, you *instantly* revert to your infantile
hateful vitriol against the simple bearer of fact.

It's especially revealing that nospam always touts the "security" of iOS by

adversary, where, in reality, all it takes is a simple verbal command to
crack hundreds of millions of iOS devices wide open.
Since nospam is well aware of that being a fact, what does he do?
He instantly reverts to his childish ways by blaming Android for this
inconvenient fact that iOS users are /not/ any more secure than any other
user of a any common consumer-grade mobile device.

Those same inconvenient facts would be accepted on the adult newsgroups.

That you apparently feel that hundreds of millions of people will all do

adversary will brute force frontally attack your iOS device, where all you
have to do is speak nicely to it and it will blabber away your privacy.
What I find revealing is that only the Apple Apologists minimize what is a
huge security hole in iOS (again).
Not one of you child-like Apple Apologists who have this minimizing and
blaming gene can find a /single/ news article that backs up your
minimizations.
Meanwhile, the references all show that reasonable people consider this a
massive security hole.
What's interesting is that you, nospam, blame Android, but it never once
occurs to you that Apple doesn't find even the /simplest/ of bugs to test
for.
This isn't the first time that we can easily prove that statement is a
fact, and you know that.
So the real question is why doesn't Apple feel the need to test their own
iOS releases for security holes?
The answer is obvious.
What matters to most Apple customers isn't the security, but the frequency
of updates. Mere frequency makes Apple users /feel/ safe.
We've proven that the iOS releases are not tested in the real world so many
times that there can be few other explanations for so many bugs that are
never caught by Apple and yet which are trivial to test for.
Given those inconvenient facts, this statement is welcome:
"iOS 11 has been plagued by a number of bugs and security-related issues
since it was released last year, which has lead to speculation that Apple
