Read it again Chris.

Specifically look for the Project Zero's rather plaintive explanation of how
they are absolutely positive the stated problematic sections of Apple iOS
code could _never_ even possibly have been tested by Apple before iOS shipped.

*The fact remains, Apple has _never_ sufficiently tested iOS even _once_ Chris.*
Why do you think iOS is the buggiest operating system on the planet, Chris?

HINT: Compare Apple's puny R&D expenditure to Apple's MARKETING budget, Chris.
Then read what even Craig Federighi said of why Apple misses so many bugs, Chris.

HINT: Federighi's internal memo was published and discussed here at length, Chris.
(Like a Trumpist, you, Chris, are simply immune to any facts you don't like.)

The fact remains Apple hasn't tested entire huge sections of iOS code in
years (and, as a result, Apple _repeats_ the same zero-day bugs!).

[As a nomenclature aside, are those previously fixed zero-day bugs that
Apple breaks exactly the same way a second time, still called "zero day?]

The fact you're ignorant doesn't mean those aren't well known facts, Chris.

Since you ignorant apologists are completely clueless that Apple has never tested
_any_ iOS release sufficiently, you do exactly what Apple tells you to do.

None of you apologists have any control of your own independent thoughts.

I provided a list of something like thirty separate holes in iOS 13 alone that
Apple didn't find - and yet all you fantastically ignorant apologists are immune
to all facts that go against your entirely fabricated beliefs.

Not only have I read & understood all those articles, but I have read and
understood ten times that many which I simply didn't list for you to read.

And yet... you apologists are blissfully uninformed & unaware of facts.

So you admit you can't even pretend to have a source for "more security

We're getting dangerously close to some numbers. Which holes are these
specifically? Now find the numbers for Android, Windows and Linux.

You apologists are no different from Trumpists in almost every way possible.

That you saw the proof many times, and that you ignored that proof even more
times, is what proves you're always going to be ignorant Jolly Roger (much
like Trumpists are) of everything you don't like about Apple products.

I gave you, many times, in this thread alone, and in many others, the link
where Google explicitly explained in gory deep detail that Apple's iOS code
could _never_ (ever!) possibly have been tested - & yet - you're still
ignorant of that.

FACT:
*Apple has _never_ even once tested huge portions of critical iOS code!*

This same fact was proven with Apple's iTunes implementation on Windows
(i.e., huge portions of Apple's shipped code have _never_ once been tested!)

Here's the link again, but you're ignorant so I'm wasting my energy on you.

Chris,

Read this _before_ you claim all facts about Apple you hate aren't facts.
*A very deep dive into iOS Exploit chains found in the wild*
<https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2019/08/a-very-deep-dive-into-ios-exploit.html>

You apologists are almost exactly like Trumpists in your denial of facts
everyone else knows (hell, *even Apple didn't dispute what Google said*,
Chris).

Given you dispute what even Apple couldn't dispute, that tells us all that
the chance of an adult conversation with apologists is literally zero.

If Apple didn't dispute that Google proved beyond any doubt whatsoever that
huge swaths of critical iOS code had _never_ and could never (not even
once!) have _ever_ been tested, on what grounds can you deny that fact?

Arlen, clueless troll that he is, can only post links to webpages with no
actual evidence of his lame assertion that Apple's code "has never been
tested", as usual. All he has are baseless assertions and misguided
opinions. He's a pathetic troll.

I *love* facts. Problem is you don't know what a fact is. What you are

I have. Now point me to the exact place where they state that Apple does no
testing and that vast parts of iOS have never been tested.

Not responding to a claim is not the same as agreeing with it. Apple very
rarely respond to any claims so keeping quiet on this is nothing special.

FTR I agree that Apple has zero-day vulnerabilities some of which have been
exploited for a long time. Apple probably should have done better. You can
be sure that they will be.

Does all this damn Apple as being the worst tech company in the world? No.
By a mile.

Jesus Christ Chris,

You are so ignorant you _missed_ the openeing sentences for God's sake!
"The root causes I highlight here are not novel and are often overlooked.
*We'll see cases of iOS code which seems to have never worked*,
*iOS code that likely skipped QA or likely had little testing*
*or no code review before the iOS release was shipped to users*."

This was for _many_ iOS releases, Chris... that Apple didn't test even once.
The fact Apple doesn't sufficiently test iOS releases is clear, Chris.

All iPhones are compromised the instant Apple installs an iOS release.
The proof is _overwhelming_ Apple doesn't even _test_ much of iOS code!

You're dense. You're shockingly dense. I've never met people like you are.
You're like Trumpists. You can't see what everyone else _easily_ sees.

The proof is not only from Project Zero - it's everywhere.
*Even Apple didn't refute the fact they never tested their iOS code.*

What's shocking is that an intelligent _adult_ conversation is impossible
with all you apologists... I don't even know how you function in society.

*None of you apologists own even the most basic of adult cognitive skills*.

Here's just a few verbatim quotes from the very article you supposedly read:
"The more important takeaway, however, is what the vulnerability was.
In 2014, Apple added an unfinished implementation of a new feature named
"vouchers" and part of this new code was a new syscall (technically, a
task port MIG method) which, from what I can tell, never worked. To be
clear, if there had been a test which called the syscall with the
expected arguments, it would have caused a kernel panic. If any Apple
developer had attempted to use this feature during those four years,
their phone would have immediately crashed."

Besides the fact Google clearly said the code couldn't possibly ever have
been tested many times, there were plenty of indicators iOS is never tested.

These are all complete, verbatim quotes from what you supposedly read,
Chris. (Again, it's shocking how fantastically _stupid_ you appear to be).

"It's difficult to understand how this error could be introduced into a
core IPC library that shipped to end users. While errors are common in
software development, a serious one like this should have quickly been
found by a unit test, code review or even fuzzing. It's especially
unfortunate as this location would naturally be one of the first ones
an attacker would look, as I detail below."

Here's another:
"It's the kernel bug used here which is, unfortunately, easy to find and
exploit (if you don't believe me, feel free to seek a second opinion!).
An IOKit device driver with an external method which in the very first
statement performs an unbounded memmove with a length argument directly
controlled by the attacker"

The amazing thing is I've never met people as ignorant as you apologists,
who, given a spoon fed easy article to read, you can't see _any_ facts in
that article if those facts tell the truth about Apple products.

It's amazing how fantastically _ignorant_ Jolly Roger easily proves to be.
What's shocking is how similar these apologists are to Trumpists.

Jolly Roger just read an article by security researchers which explicitly
said the iOS code (for years!) couldn't possibly ever have been tested.

And yet, all Jolly Roger sees is a "link" to a "website" that doesn't
"constitute proof" which is Jolly Roger's way of denying all facts about
Apple that he simply doesn't like.

I've never met people as incredibly ignorant as these apologists are.

They get _nothing_ out of this rather easy to read article.
<https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2019/08/a-very-deep-dive-into-ios-exploit.html>

Adults reading this can see that "likely skipped QA" and "likely skipped
testing" are both *non-factual* statements as well as being a *far* cry
from Arlen's asinine claim that "huge portions of iOS code have _never_
been tested by Apple QA". You lose, again, Arlen. Pitiful troll.
